Acadiana Symphony Orchestra and Conservatory of Music

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.

✨What's interesting about this concert?
This concert features 'Clarinet Quintet K. 581' - composed by W.A. Mozart in 1789 - one of the unhappiest years of Mozart’s life. During this time, his commissions and teaching jobs had dried up, he was in poor health, and his chronically ailing wife, Constanza, was experiencing another difficult pregnancy. Despite his state of despair, Mozart composed this bright and radiant work for clarinetist Anton Stadler, who premiered it in Vienna, in December of that year, in several performances to raise money for widowed spouses and orphaned children of musicians.
🎶Join us at on January 26, to hear this work masterfully performed by clarinet virtuoso, Darko Brlek.

The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra stands united with our community in the wake of the New Year’s Day tragedy on Bourbon Street. Our hearts and thoughts are with the victims’ loved ones and all who have been affected during this devastating time.
