Live Concerts in a Season of “New Beginnings”

Introducing the 2021-22 Season of “NEW BEGINNINGS”

Teddy Abrams and Louisville Orchestra Focus on “New Beginnings” in 2021-22, Celebrating Composers of Color, Women Composers, Latin American Music, and Numerous World Premieres, Including Abrams’s New Piano Concerto Performed by Yuja Wang

Now in its eighth season under the inspired and inspiring leadership of galvanizing young Music Director Teddy Abrams, the Louisville Orchestra celebrates diverse musical voices in 2021-22, with works by composers of color and women composers of three centuries; a three-part festival of Latin American music featuring world premieres by Angélica Negrón and Dafnis Prieto; and the first concert in a multi-season series exploring Black and Jewish music. A major highlight of the season is the worldpremiere of Abrams’s Piano Concerto, written for and featuring acclaimed pianist Yuja Wang. The season also features the world premiere of a Louisville Orchestra commission from rising young Louisville composer KiMani Bridges, a new edition of the popular “Teddy Talks…” series deconstructing Schubert’s “Great” Symphony No. 9, world-class guest conductors and soloists, and much more. Bob Bernhardt, Principal Pops Conductor, celebrates his 40th season with the Louisville Orchestra this year. He launches the 5-concert Pops Series with “Music of Prohibition” and celebrates his anniversary with a concert of music by John Williams. Attendance at all performances in the 2021-22 season is subject to currently recommended COVID-19 safety protocols.

Season tickets are now on sale for the Classics, Pops, Family, and Coffee Concert Series.

Free Online Concert: American Soul

TUE 1 DEC
Link to get your free access. Use code: FREE

The names of great Soul and R&B musicians bring a cascade of music to mind. Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone, and others brought a new sound to popular music. Rooted in Gospel traditions and merged with doo-wop sounds, Soul music rose up from the post-WW II generation of professional Black musicians whose talents and energetic musical stylings emerged just as traditional pop music’s appeal was fading with the rise of rock ‘n roll.

Exceptional music entrepreneurs like Detroit’s Barry Gordy (founder of Tamala Motown Records) and Jim Wexler (Atlantic Records) began producing music that featured powerful Black vocalists, deeply emotional lyrics, imaginative and memorable melodies, and soaring arrangements for brass, percussion and backup choirs. At the same time, Soul music turned to the successful teen market with catchy lyrics and tunes with driving clean beats, just right for AM radio. Groups like the Supremes and The Four Tops delighted listeners with melodrama and the exuberant romanticism that bubbled as the antidote to rock ‘n roll of the time.

Like no other music, American Soul brought a divided country together during the 1960s and 70s. In fact, the influence of Soul music was international. To be unaware of the music of Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Dianna Ross was almost impossible. These international music superstars smashed racial barriers in unimaginable ways with the power of their music.

We’re so proud to be featuring Louisville-based musicians Jason Clayborn and Daria Raymore in this concert. Two musicians with the vocal power and the deep instinct for performing Soul music that comes from their living and breathing Gospel and R&B music throughout their amazing careers.

Newgrass legend Sam Bush with the LO

“He’s an incredible musician and an incredible person!” ~ Teddy Abrams

Kentucky native son, Grammy-Award winning bluegrass legend, extraordinary instrumentalist, and a hilarious storyteller and social media favorite… we are overjoyed to present a concert with Sam Bush. Recorded live on Saturday, November 7 at 7:30pm the full concert is now available on the Louisville Orchestra Virtual Edition at https://louisvilleorchestra.vhx.tv.

In case you are late to the fun of discovering the music of this free-wheeling master musician, Sam Bush is credited with creating the upsurge of popularity for bluegrass music that started in the 1980s and has made Bush one of the key influencers of today’s favorite Americana music. Growing up on traditional bluegrass music in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the young Sam Bush blazed a new path to become a mandolin virtuoso in addition to the wagonload of other instruments he mastered (fiddle, guitar, and banjo). He and his music have led the way for groups like Punch Brothers, Steep Canyon Rangers, and Nickel Creek.

Bush was onstage at the Grand Ole Opry at age 16 in a surprise debut with Country music star Roy Acuff.  When offered a spot in Acuff’s touring band, Bush decided instead to move to Louisville and play “as hard as he could” in a bluegrass bar band that launched his leadership in the “New Grass” musical style. “Nobody loves Bill Monroe more than me,” says Bush. So, when his band “New Grass Revival” were building their signature sound, Bush leaned into the “chop and sweep” style of mandolin playing that characterized Bill Monroe’s playing and delighted the young bluegrass musicians. New Grass Revival was different from other young bluegrass groups because they allowed influences of jazz, rock ‘n roll, and blues.

Never before had bluegrass fans seen the likes of this hippie virtuoso who broke all the rules while honoring the deepest traditions of his music. Please join us for an evening of bluegrass and orchestra.

Opening Night: VIGIL

AVAILABLE FOR ON-DEMAND VIEWING NOW
BEETHOVEN’S THIRD
Teddy Abrams, conductor
DaVÓNE TINES, Bass-Baritone
StreamED Live on Saturday, October 3 at 7:30 pm

Link to LouisvilleOrchestra.vhx.tv

Since the time when this opening night concert was first conceived as a tribute to Beethoven’s 250th birthday, the program has evolved together with the events and needs of our city. It would, perhaps, be more appropriate to re-title the performance “A Concert for Healing” or simply take the title of the work that has become the focus of our concert:  VIGIL.

A vigil is defined as “a period of keeping awake during the time usually spent asleep, especially to keep watch or pray.” The work “VIGIL,” composed by our soloist Davóne Tines, will receive its world premiere as an orchestral piece at the performance on Saturday, October 3 at 7:30pm (Live-stream at LouisvilleOrchestra.vhx.tv ). A short piece with an incredible emotional impact, VIGIL grieves even as it keeps watch and prays.

The piece, as a work for voice and piano, makes its video debut under the auspices of Lincoln Center on Wednesday, Sep 30 at 8PM. LINK TO VIEW

“This song came out of a spontaneous collaboration with dear friend-colleagues Igee Diedonné and Matthew Aucoin,” says Mr. Tines. “It was originally created by me and Igee in an improv session. And very uncommonly, the song came out fully formed in one try. It blends our various sensibilities including gospel, contemporary classical, French impressionism, and experimental pop. I describe the feeling of the sound world as a Monet watercolor with some added soul. Matthew Aucoin’s orchestration of the song added what I call a ‘tiny bird,’ whose admonitions fly about that watercolor and, in an elegantly subtle way, focus the luminous spirit of the piece.”

The concert program both grieves and celebrates bravery with music regularly heard at funerals of Black people, “I’ll Fly Away” and “O Death.” To open the concert, Teddy Abrams chose “Starburst” by Jessie Montgomery who wrote it as a reflection of the “rapid formation of large numbers of new stars” – those “stars” being the rising talents of Black and Latinx classical soloists.

Classical composer Samuel Barber’s song for baritone and string quartet is titled “Dover Beach.” Reflecting on the stoic beauty of the coast of England, the music has an elegiac mood very similar to the composer’s beloved “Adagio for Strings.”

And ultimately we arrive at Beethoven’s Third Symphony. Beethoven wrote the symphony in his first flush of enthusiasm over the democratic progress of Napoleon. His fury over Buonaparte’s betrayal of these ideals is well documented. Tyranny enraged Beethoven and we heard that evidenced in the Third Symphony.

Please join us for this exceptional concert.

Notice to 2020-2021 Subscribers

 



Dear Friends,

At the Louisville Orchestra, we share your values of fearless exploration, joy and enthusiasm, compassion, learning, and most of all, love of music. These values are the foundation of everything we do. Even as we face a new era, we celebrate a rising tide of possibility. The LO’s Innovation Committee met throughout the summer to explore new ideas and figure out how to perform for you, safely and effectively in today’s world. Our response to the current reality is to make music more passionately than ever before. As musicians, we are creative optimists with the drive to raise up humanity. It’s time to reimagine and innovate!

We come to you with the news that we are ready to launch our reinvented SEASON OF INNOVATION.  The previously announced indoor concerts for the fall season (Sep-Dec) must be revised to accommodate our times. However, the great news is that we will continue to bring music to our community and invite you to join the adventure.

While we await the opportunity to bring back live concerts, we embrace the technology that will bring us to you — and to the rest of the world. We take our concerts to the virtual stage and offer subscriptions to the “Louisville Orchestra Virtual Edition” online. Our new video channel will launch on SEP 15.

Mark your calendars for these performances of the Brown-Forman Foundation Orchestra Series that will be streamed LIVE online at 7:30pm on our new video channel:

Saturday, October 3  ::  Kindred Healthcare Presents BEETHOVEN’S THIRD : A Concert of Healing
Saturday, October 24  :: ABRAMS CONDUCTS STRAVINSKY
Saturday, November 7  :: SAM BUSH AND COPLAND’S APPALACHIAN SPRING
Saturday, November 21 :: AMERICAN SOUL

In addition to creative music-making, we are committed to a season of giving. We are creating new educational content to support our schools and young musicians, and launching wellness and immunity-enhancement projects to benefit frontline providers and at-risk people. These and other innovations give us the opportunity to reach more people than ever before with the joy of music. Your partnership is more vital now than at any time in our history.

Thank you for your support of the Louisville Orchestra during these uncertain times. We look forward to sharing music and community with you.
