Hurricane Harvey was the strongest storm to hit coastal Texas in decades, causing damage in many areas and affecting several performing arts organizations. Everyone in the path of the hurricane is in the thoughts of the League of American Orchestras, and the League stands ready to assist member organizations: contact us here.
