Louisiana Philharmonic

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina in the USA, Drew McManus's 'Adaptistration' section of artsjournal.com is helping displaced musicians from the Louisiana Philharmonic. Due to the devastation caused by the hurricane, members of the orchestra are likely to be unemployed for some time to come.

The help available includes a dedicated page for tracking the known whereabouts of the orchestra's musicians and managers, and a page attempting to put members of the orchestra in touch with anyone in the USA who can offer them work and other assistance.

The response so far has been very generous, with offers of accommodation and work coming from many parts of the USA and also internationally.
