Welcome to LPO Volunteers

LPO Volunteers logo

LPO Volunteers is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to service and support for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Since the early 1990s, the all-volunteer group has raised more than $2 million through its solely owned businesses – The Encore Shop and Symphony Book Fair – and contributed thousands of volunteer hours to support the LPO.

Enjoy music and meet musicians at our Sunday Suite Salons.
Catch up with friends at our gatherings.

Join LPO Volunteers today and support the nation’s only wholly musician-owned orchestra.

Our Book Fair features books, artworks, and music media including vinyl that are available at great prices.
