Musician Chair Naming
Naming a musician chair provides reliable ongoing funding to recruit, underwrite, and retain outstanding LPO musicians. Naming a chair also offers a tremendous opportunity to recognize or honor a person or cause in a most caring and prestigious manner. Depending on the size of the gift, musician chairs may be named for a period of five years, ten years, 25 years, or in perpetuity. For information, call 504.523.6530, ext. 301
