An Evening with Carlos Miguel Prieto
A Documentary Premier & Fundraiser
For17 years, Carlos Miguel Prieto helped shape the sound of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Now, for the first time since his departure, he's coming home — and we're celebrating with an evening as warm and unforgettable as his tenure here.
Join us Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 6:30–9:00 PM at the New Orleans Jazz and Blues Market for cocktails, a live conversation, and the premiere screening of a new documentary on Carlos Miguel Prieto produced by WLAE/PBS. Then catch him back on the podium just two days later, October 22, when he returns to conduct the LPO in Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5.
Your ticket to this event supports the LPO's artistic initiatives and helps bring exceptional music to our community.
Seating is limited.

About Finale: Carlos Miguel Prieto and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra
In this inspiring film honoring the Maestro’s 17-year legacy as the Adelaide Wisdom Benjamin Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, viewers will enjoy selections from Prieto’s LPO finale concert at the Orpheum Theatre in May 2023, and learn about his most significant contributions to New Orleans culture and to classical music worldwide from fellow musicians, benefactors, and Carlos himself. His legacy of showcasing rising musicians, especially those of Latino and Black heritage, and instilling a love for classical music in thousands of students has been a priceless gift to all.
