In Harmony Tour: Ashland

Join The Louisville Orchestra for the kickoff of our 2025 In Harmony – The Commonwealth Tour! In this first week of the brand-new tour, we’re bringing world-class music to Eastern Kentucky and the Appalachian region with a program that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of our state.

From thrilling classics like Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 to innovative new works like a Pipa Concerto by Baldwin Giang, we’re celebrating music that connects and inspires. Grammy-winning bluegrass sensation Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper will join us to perform some of their greatest hits, including the electrifying Orange Blossom Special.

In addition to the evening concert, we’re proud to host free community events throughout the week – from school visits to interactive workshops – as part of our commitment to bringing music to every corner of the Commonwealth.

Reserve your free ticket now and be part of this unforgettable celebration of music and community!
