DURATION: Approximately 90 minutes

Join us for an unforgettable evening as New Orleans music royalty George Porter Jr. takes the stage alongside the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. A true icon of funk, Porter was a founding member of The Meters, whose syncopated grooves and deep Afro-New Orleans musical roots helped define the sound of modern funk.

With the LPO’s orchestral power embracing his funk heritage, expect a dynamic synthesis where driving basslines meet sweeping strings, bold brass, and a rhythmic conversation between symphonic textures and deep groove. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience George Porter Jr.’s legendary sound in orchestral immersion — a night where the heartbeat of funk meets the majesty of symphony.

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 cocktail hour with curated vibes by local DJs! The pre-concert cocktail hour begins at 5:30 and the music will start at 7:00.
