Stagehand assists with executing stage and theatrical production elements for all LPO concerts, rehearsals, and events and will provide support for the Operations Manager and LPO staff as needed.

Formed in 1991, the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) is the only full-time musician-governed and collaboratively operated orchestra in the United States and the only full-time professional orchestra in the state of Louisiana. Now approaching the beginning of its 31st season, the LPO is a Group 3 orchestra with a budget of $4.5 million serving an annual audience of approximately 60,000 in one of the most culturally vibrant cities in the nation.

LPO offerings have included a full 36-week season with more than 100 performances, including classics, light classics, pops, education, family, park, and community engagement concerts in New Orleans and across a multi-parish area. The LPO’s education and community engagement work encompasses partnerships with K-12 educational institutions, Louisiana universities, and communities in a twelve-parish area as part of its mission to transform people and communities through music.

The LPO has a tri-partite organizational governance structure comprised of 67 musicians, a full-time administrative staff of 17, and a Board of Trustees composed of 43 members (12 musicians, 26 community members, and five voting ex-officio representatives) who are elected by the musicians.

The LPO is actively planning a future that maintains our governance structure, pre-pandemic performance schedule, and multiple educational activities while also expanding the diversity of our programming to reach a broader, more inclusive audience.
