90.5 WUOL Presents the Louisville Orchestra’s Season Opener “Our Kentucky Home” featuring special guest Chris Thile. We open our Season celebrating many things Kentucky in this concert featuring composers, performers, and compositions related to our great Commonwealth! Included in the program is mandolinist extraordinaire Chris Thile, who gives the Kentucky debut of a piece for mandolin and orchestra called ATTENTION! A narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra. We also share works by Bartók and Prokofiev, inspired by folk and classical music from around the world. Plus, we’ll spotlight a work by Creators Corps veteran Lisa Bielawa and Hazard resident Lindsey Branson.
