MESSAGE FROM THE LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA

Dear Friends,

As we begin October, we begin a season of transition. Leaves shift from a shady deep green to fragile autumnal shades, the air has a crisp touch of chill, and our minds begin to think about moments of reunion as friends and family.

For the Louisville Orchestra, this same sense of transition and change is upon us and gives us a fantastic opportunity for audiences of familiar faces and brand-new faces to enjoy so many different performances.

‘Teddy Talks’ are your pathway into discovering new ways of appreciating, understanding and engaging a cornerstone of the classical orchestral repertoire. This year, Teddy takes us into the mind and world of Schumann and his dance-laden Symphony No. 4, to reveal more about the imagination and life of one of the most important musical voices of the 19th Century. Teddy Talks have become an LO tradition of their own, so add this show to your list of don’t-miss activities of the Fall.

At the end of the month, we are proud to re-launch our Music Without Borders concert series, this season focused on bringing the artistry of the LO into three distinctive neighborhoods of Metro Louisville: California, Shelby Park and J-Town. These concerts are now totally free, designed to remove any economic barriers to ensure anyone who wishes to enjoy the Louisville Orchestra has all the opportunity to do so. Our orchestra, since its founding in 1937, as been a vital community resource for all Louisvillians, so the relaunch of Music Without Borders as a free, community-based concert series, is a return to our core value of access and impact. We thank specifically Jim and Irene Karp for their leadership support for these concerts, and Mayor Fischer and Metro Louisville Council for their increased support through the HeARTS initiative.

October is just a glimpse of what awaits at the Louisville Orchestra this season, and we cannot wait to see familiar and new faces in the weeks and months ahead.

TEDDY ABRAMS, MUSIC DIRECTOR

Named Musical America’s 2022 Conductor of the Year, Teddy Abrams is the widely acclaimed Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra. In his ninth season as Music Director, Teddy launches the Orchestra’s groundbreaking Creators Corps – a fully funded residency for three composers – and the Orchestra goes on tour across Kentucky in a first-ofits-kind multiyear funding commitment from the Kentucky State Legislature. Abrams’s rap-opera, The Greatest: Muhammad Ali, premiered in 2017, celebrating Louisville’s hometown hero with an all-star cast that included Rhiannon Giddens and Jubilant Sykes, as well as Jecorey “1200” Arthur, with whom he started the Louisville Orchestra Rap School. Abrams’s work with the Louisville Orchestra has been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, PBS’ Articulate, and the PBS NewsHour.

Highlights of the 2022-2023 season include guest conducting engagements with the Cincinnati, Kansas City, Utah, Colorado, and Pacific Symphonies, a return to conduct the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, and his debut with the Tiroler Symphonieorchester Innsbruck.

Abrams has been Music Director and Conductor of the Britt Festival Orchestra since 2013, where, in addition to an annual three-week festival of concerts, he has taken the orchestra across the region in the creation of new work—

including Michael Gordon’s Natural History, which was premiered on the edge of Crater Lake National Park in partnership with the National Parks Service, and was the subject of the PBS documentary Symphony for Nature; and Pulitzer Prize-winning-composer Caroline Shaw’s Brush, an experiential work written to be performed in Summer 2021 on the Jacksonville Woodlands Trail system.

Abrams recently collaborated with Jim James, vocalist and guitarist for My Morning Jacket, on the song cycle The Order of Nature, which they premiered with the Louisville Orchestra in 2018 and recorded on Decca Gold. They performed the work with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in 2019. In addition to The Order of Nature, Teddy and the Louisville Orchestra recorded All In in 2017 with vocalist Storm Large. Most recently, he released Space Variations, a collection of three new compositions for Universal Music Group’s 2022 World Sleep Day.

As a guest conductor, Abrams has worked with such distinguished ensembles as the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Chicago, San Francisco, National, Houston, Pacific, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Vancouver, Colorado, Utah, and Phoenix Symphonies; Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra; and the Sarasota and Florida Orchestras. Internationally, he has worked with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, and the Malaysian Philharmonic. He served as Assistant Conductor of the Detroit Symphony from 2012 to 2014. From 2008 to 2011, Abrams was the Conducting Fellow and Assistant Conductor of the New World Symphony.

BOB BERNHARDT, PRINCIPAL POPS CONDUCTOR

Bob Bernhardt has been a beloved figure in the artistic fabric of our city for a long time. Starting in 1981 as Assistant Conductor, then as Associate Conductor at the LO, then as

Principal Guest Conductor of Kentucky Opera, and now in his 25th season as Principal Pops Conductor, he continues to bring his unique combination of easy style, infectious enthusiasm, and wonderful musicianship to the city and orchestra he loves.

Bernhardt is concurrently in his eighth season as Principal Pops Conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony in Michigan, and Principal Pops Conductor and Music Director Emeritus of the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, where he previously spent 19 seasons as Music Director, and is now in his 30th year with the company.

Previously, he was Music Director and conductor of the Amarillo Symphony and the Tucson Symphony, and Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of the Rochester Philharmonic.

In the past decade, Bob has made his conducting debut with the Baltimore Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Houston Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, New Jersey Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Las Vegas Philharmonic, Florida Orchestra, Grand Rapids Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony and Santa Barbara Symphony, all of which were rewarded with return engagements.

He continues a 15-year relationship with the Edmonton Symphony, conducting

there several times each season, and as Festival Conductor for its Labor Day festival, Symphony Under the Sky. He made his debut with the Boston Pops in 1992 at the invitation of John Williams, and has been a frequent guest there ever since.

Recently, he returned to the podiums in St. Louis, Vail, Boston, Nashville, Detroit, Edmonton, Florida, Grand Rapids, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Santa Barbara, Portland (ME), Louisiana, and Rochester, and led performances by the Utah Symphony, Portland Symphony (OR), Calgary Philharmonic, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa.

His professional opera career began with the Birmingham Civic Opera in 1979, two years before he joined the Louisville Orchestra. He worked with Kentucky Opera for 18 consecutive seasons, and with his own company in Chattanooga, also for 18 seasons, where he conducted dozens of fully staged productions in a genre he adores.

Born in Rochester, New York, he holds a master’s degree from the University of Southern California’s School of Music where he studied with Daniel Lewis. He is also a Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of Union College in Schenectady, New York, where he was captain of the soccer team, and an Academic All-American baseball player. (While not all the research is in, Bernhardt believes he is the only conductor in the history of music to be invited to spring training with the Kansas City Royals. After four days, they suggested to him a life in music.)

His children, Alex and Charlotte, live in the Seattle area. He and his wife, Nora, live in Signal Mountain, Tennessee.

ROBERT SCHUMANN (1810-1856)

Even though it is numbered last among Schumann’s symphonies, the Symphony

No.4 is actually an earlier work dating from 1841. Schumann often had periods of white-hot focus with complete immersion in a single genre. In 1841 that focus was on orchestral music. His mind was especially fertile while

composing this symphony. He almost called the work a Fantasy, wanting it to be played without a break.

Although nominally in D minor, a significant portion of the music is actually in major keys. Listen for dramatic interruptions from the trombones in the first movement. Tenderness and songfulness characterize the Romance. The scherzo is vigorous and masculine. A seamless transition leads directly to the lively, spirited finale. Two final accelerations at the end bringing the symphony to a delightful, whirlwind conclusion.

DEIDRE DONOVAN

vocalist, began her relationship with Disney at the age of five when she performed the opening number from Beauty and the Beast for her kindergarten class during show and tell. Awed by Deidre's passion, her teacher told her mom she should do musical theatre and now she gets to live out her own fairy tale singing this music with the symphony! A San Diego native, she graduated from UC Irvine with Honors in Musical Theatre. Shortly thereafter, she moved to NYC where she has had the privilege of performing in The Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Hairspray at the Paper Mill Playhouse, Fingers and Toes at the MerryGo-Round Playhouse, S’Wonderful at Westchester Broadway Theatre and as Jo in Little Women at Sierra Rep. Deidre has also traveled extensively as a performer

with the USO Show Troupe, making appearances everywhere from military bases to national television. Other highlights include tap dancing with the Honey Taps ensemble located in the tri-state area and appearances in a handful of commercials. She resides in New York City with her husband Mike and their two children.

STEPHANIE BURKETT GERSON

vocalist, has a wide range of credits to her name — from theater and theme parks to cruise ships and a favorite national anthem vocalist. As a proud member of Actors' Equity, Stephanie has been seen as a lead vocalist and Mrs. Claus in the Rockette’s Radio City Christmas Spectacular National Tour and appeared in I Love A Piano as Ginger at Moonlight Stage Productions in Vista California.

She also regularly lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families with the USO Show Troupe.

ANTHONY APICELLA

vocalist, holds a special place in his heart for Disney and is absolutely thrilled to be a part of Disney in Concert. He is a proud member of AEA and has appeared in a list of Off-Broadway productions in New York City including, Smiling the Boy Fell Dead (Musicals in Mufti at The York Theatre), The Crack in the Ceiling, Huckleberry Haywood: A Spunk Rock Musical, and Fools in Love.

MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS

by Bill Doolittle

The more it happens, the more Louisville Orchestra concertmaster Gabe Lefkowitz appreciates the feedback he receives when the symphony gets out and about in the community. Transporting its symphonic sound from the formal stage of Whitney Hall to less assuming neighborhood venues and smaller concert halls gives audiences the chance to get up close to the musicians, and closer to the music.

“The one thing I hear with great enthusiasm during the Music Without Borders concerts, is ‘Wow, I’ve never been that close to an orchestra and that close to the action — to see in stunning detail what you are doing,” says Lefkowitz. “It’s a feedback I am so grateful for. Something we don’t experience so much in a larger concert hall.”

The Louisville Orchestra, and music director Teddy Abrams, have been shaping the Music Without Borders series in various ways, and in various places, for several years. Perfecting the format. This season it is combining all its away-from-Whitney concerts, including daytime concerts at Louisville libraries, and concerts across the state under one outreach umbrella. And it will all be free.

“The direction of orchestras is something to watch,” says Lefkowitz, who is in his seventh year leading the orchestra from his first chair violinist seat. “Teddy Abrams has very strong ideas about what an orchestra can be, and how it can serve its city best. The role of an orchestra

has evolved over the past 50 years, from its primary function to put on formal concerts in a concert hall — we’re still going to be doing that, of course — but also explore ways to get out into the community in various configurations. To serve the city that way.”

Central to the season are the nine concerts in the Music Without Borders series, with three concerts each in three different parts of the city, at the:

• California Community Center in California Park, 1600 W. St. Catherine St.

• Logan Street Market, 1001 Logan Street, in Shelby Park

• The Jeffersonian, 10617 Taylorsville Road, in Jeffersontown

Other sites may be selected in succeeding years to spread the music throughout the community. The initiative is a partnership with Mayor Greg Fischer’s HeARTS initiative and supports the community programming now being planned by the Fund for the Arts.

Mayor Greg Fischer notes the series is a citywide affair, reaching across the community.

“This partnership with the city, the Louisville Orchestra and the Fund for the Arts is a commitment to the health, well-being and healing of the neighborhoods and people of our community,” says Fischer. “Working across agencies ensures a sustainability of impact that none of us are able to accomplish on our own.”

The series begins October 27, 28 and 29, at the three sites, with Abrams conducting the rousing “Finlandia,” by Jean Sibelius, “Symphony No. 9,” by Dmitri Shostakovich, and “Fictional Migrations,” by Lisa Bielawa, one of the orchestra’s new Creators Corps of composers.

That lineup of compositions gives an idea of the scope of the Music Without Borders programming — from serious to popular, old to new. The second threeconcert set comes in February, with Lefkowitz conducting. The third is in March, with Kelly Corcoran conducting. For a list of concert dates and programs please visit the orchestra’s website Louisvilleorchestra.org .

STORYTELLING WITH MUSIC

The orchestra is also continuing its Once Upon an Orchestra concerts in collaboration with the Louisville Free Public Library. Last year, 21 storytellingwith-music concerts were presented by LO ensembles and reached every library in the LFPL system, plus several other community locations. This season, LO musicians and members of the Creators Corps teamed with the specialists at the LFPL to create a series of programs centered on favorite children’s literature. Composer TJ Cole explains, “My work

for ‘Once Upon an Orchestra’ has been collaborating with musicians on mashing up different kinds of musical styles — from classical, to pop, to video game music — to create an immersive experience centered on literature. It is so important to find new ways to create and present music, and I think this will be a fun, interactive experience that no one has ever had before!”

The schedule of performances is available on the LO website and at www.lfpl.org/orchestra.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

In what might be termed a return to yesteryear, the Louisville Orchestra has received a $4.3 million grant from the Kentucky General Assembly to resume presentation of concerts throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Something it did decades ago.

Concert sites range from Pikeville, in the easternmost part of the state, to Mayfield, in the Commonwealth’s farthest western region. Mayfield, of course, was delivered a devastating blow by a wave of enormous tornados that crashed through Western Kentucky in 2021 — but is now steadfastly rebuilding. That process provides a reminder that it is not just homes and

buildings that are blown away in such events, but also things of personal nature that are essential to quality of life, such as eyeglasses and hearing aids and dentures that disappear in the winds and down the river in floods. Beyond the orchestra’s grant, the General Assembly has funded, for example, Louisville's Heuser Hearing Institute to expand its services to tornado and flooding victims.

Speaker of the House David Osborne believes the orchestra adds more to life for Kentuckians than merely a regional concert. It’s spreading artistic culture.

"I look forward to seeing this series become reality," says Osborne. "Our investment provides a unique opportunity to bring the incredible music of the Louisville Orchestra to communities throughout the state while honoring the talent in each region."

Jefferson County Senator Julie Raque Adams agrees.

“Teddy’s vision to engage students through collaboration and performances in unique venues across our Commonwealth provides a well-timed opportunity to celebrate what unites us — our love and appreciation for great Kentucky music!” says Raque Adams.

Abrams believes music can celebrate the commonalities of Kentuckians. “Kentucky is famous around the world for its outsize contributions to music in so many genres—from bluegrass to rock, rap, and (of course) orchestral music,” says Abrams. “We developed the idea of taking the Louisville Orchestra throughout the Commonwealth, from the smallest communities to larger cities, to collaborate and share music-making with our fellow Kentuckians living in every part of the state."

Just a few of today’s LO musicians were performing under the baton of conductor

Jorge Mester in his first term with the Louisville Orchestra in the 1970s, when the symphony regularly packed up its instruments and hopped on busses that took it for overnight journeys around the state. Of course, each venue had its own stage, its own acoustics – its difficulties and its charms. But the travel could also be a fun change-of-pace for the musicians. Like a college marching band taking it on the road to a football rival; or just time to read a book. A couple veterans of those tours recall a “friendly” poker game that mysteriously popped up in the back of the bus the moment the bus began rolling. Lefkowitz says he looks forward to all of it.

“Just in my short time here,” says Lefkowitz, “we have explored a variety of different venues. We’ve played in churches and synagogues, and in community centers like The Jeffersonian. I think the Logan Street Market will be especially fun. We’ve also played in some in fine concert halls, such as the Ogle Center, at Indiana University Southeast. And a completely different atmosphere at Paristown Hall.” But always, he adds, there is something personal about the performances.

“The audience members, they can really see us,” says Lefkowitz. “Sometimes so close they can see me sweat – and like to remind me of it! I hope not too much.

“It’s not just the musical sound, you know. It’s the incredible experience where the listeners sometimes are actually seeing over our shoulders; see the music we’re reading; see the kind of technical nittygritty of how we make the sounds we make.”

And maybe getting the feel of what it’s like to be in the ensemble that’s weaving those sounds together as a symphony and communities together through music.
