Offers of assistance, whereabouts, & how you can donate to relief efforts for displaced Gulf Coast Region orchestra musicians and managers….
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina hundreds of generous individuals gave of themselves to offer assistance to displaced musicians and managers from the Gulf Coast Region.
Over 300 offers of assistance for housing, instruments, work, and transportation flowed through these relief pages from across the country. Dozens of musicians from the Louisiana Philharmonic and other Gulf Coast ensembles were able to take full advantage of those generous offers and have begun to settle into a steady routine while they wait to return to their homes. Thankfully, every musician and manager of the Louisiana Philharmonic is accounted for and safe.
As such, the individual offers for assistance have been removed from these pages but they are all on file for any displaced musician looking for aid. Please contact Drew McManus if you need access to any of the offers or would like to offer a new contribution.
