The majestic chambers of Louisiana’s Old State Capitol will come alive with music and merriment tonight as the historic building hosts The Jewel of the State Gala from 7 to 10 p.m. Proceeds will be used to complete a master plan to refurbish the building’s grounds, which were last updated 72 years ago by the Works Progress Administration. Old State Capitol leaders have teamed with nationally recognized landscape architects to create the master plan. Additional funding for the project has come from a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as generous private donations. Guests at the event will be able to sip wine, enjoy delicious hors d’oeuvres, and dance to music played by Ned Fasullo and his Big Band Orchestra.
