We are thrilled to present to you a vibrant new way to experience live music, local musicians, and your LPO all in one evening with LPO Market Nights. Join us in the beautiful New Orleans Jazz Market for a pre-concert happy hour with curated vibes by a local DJ followed by an intimate musical experience with your LPO and rising New Orleans-based artists. The pre-concert Happy Hour begins at 5:30 and the music will start at 7:00.
The LPO joins forces with multi-instrumentalist Leyla McCalla for this special performance.
