The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra and Conservatory of Music is a unique music organization. The A*O Conservatory of Music is one of only a few in the United States that is associated with a symphony orchestra. The organization occupies a building purchased by our founding supporters, and is located in Lafayette, Louisiana. The name "Acadiana" came from people who settled the area centuries ago. Orig

inally from France, but later exiled from Nova Scotia in 1755, the Acadians settled in Southwest Louisiana, and a distinct culture and dialect known as "Cajun" French was born. The culture thrives today in literature, poetry, fine arts, music and culinary traditions. A*O is one of only a small number of symphony orchestras in U.S. In addition, the orchestra is one of only 3 in the U.S. that is associated with a Conservatory of Music. This unique partnership sets A*O apart from other symphony organizations in the country. A*O has a dedicated Board of Directors, a Women’s League of volunteers and a talented administrative staff. The A*O Conservatory has a highly qualified faculty of 27 teachers with advanced degrees from Rice University, Eastman School of Music, Oberlin College and Conservatory, Louisiana State University, and the University of Louisiana. The symphony orchestra consists of over 70 professional musicians from 14 countries with advanced degrees from universities around the United States and abroad. The mission of the A*O and its conservatory is unified in order to achieve a cohesive approach in the development of high quality performances and educational programs.

✍We're thrilled and honored to announce that we are the recent recipients of an arts and culture grant from Lafayette Consolidated Government and Acadiana Center for the Arts, to support our After School Strings program.

📚A*O launched After School Strings in January 2023, in partnership with LPSS, with the distinct mission of expanding access to in-school orchestra education in Lafayette public schools. There are currently many barriers to strings education in Acadiana, including lack of financial resources, limited transportation, and most importantly, no system-wide offering of orchestra classes.

🎻After School Strings provides in-school music lessons twice per week with highly-trained teaching artists, healthy snacks, bus transportation, and an instrument and case for each student to use as their own - completely FREE for the student and their family.

🍎This program is made possible by the generous support of our donors, and we're deeply grateful to LCG and AcA for supporting its mission through this arts and culture grant. Thank you. 🙏💙❤️💛
