Orchestra World Offers Help To Louisiana Musicians

Offers of help are pouring in to members of the Louisiana Philharmonic. “Other orchestras, mostly regional ensembles where the pool of available musicians is small, are lending a hand, too. Many have offered temporary jobs or the prospect of auditions to the Philharmonic’s 66 players, who have scattered around the country. All but one of the musicians had safely left the city or were already elsewhere for summer engagements, members of the orchestra said yesterday.”
