Musical Louisiana: America’s Cultural Heritage

To honor Louisiana's classical music legacy, THNOC and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra established Musical Louisiana: America's Cultural Heritage, a series of concerts and student educational experiences. These award-winning concerts reach an audience of nearly 30,000 through live radio broadcasts and online video streaming. In addition, the accompanying program and educational materials are made available online to teachers throughout Louisiana and beyond.
