History

On August 25, 1966 the Women's Committee of the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony Society opened the Encore Shop as a project for raising funds to support the the symphony. Mrs. Louis Claverie was chairman of the women's committee and on the board of the The New Orleans Symphony, and it was she who presented the idea, novel at the time, of a resale shop for gently worn women's clothing and debutant gowns. What a tribute to Mrs. Claverie and the forward looking women that opened the shop because fifty years later the shop still remains in business and the money raised is given to what is now the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. The shop run by the LPO Volunteers was able to contribute $75,000 to the orchestra last year.
