I've supported this group for several decades, with my time and money and also actively working on its Board. They are professional and focused solely on the public preparatory school in New Orleans, open to any Louisiana student by audition in the fields of music (classical, jazz, vocal), visual arts, theater, culinary arts and related subjects. An amazing institution turning out grads bound for college with numerous scholarships, increasing the diversity in the arts and turning out the artistic leaders of tomorrow. Fiscally sound, totally committed to excellence plus low administrative expenses = my favorite nonprofit in all the world. I'm a supporter for life and beyond.
