TEDDY ABRAMS Music Director An unusually versatile musician, Teddy Abrams is the widely-acclaimed Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra and Music Director of the Britt Festival Orchestra. An advocate for the power of music, Abrams has fostered inter-disciplinary collaborations with organizations such as the Louisville Ballet, the Center for Interfaith Relations, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Speed Art Museum and the Folger Shakespeare Library. His rap-opera, The Greatest: Muhammad Ali, premiered in 2017, celebrating Louisville’s hometown hero. Teddy makes his debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in the 2018–19 season in a program built around a commission by Lera Auerbach, and he appears with the Utah, Wichita, Eugene and Elgin Symphonies. He celebrated Leonard Bernstein’s centenary with an all-Bernstein program at the Kennedy Center on what would have been his 100th birthday. Recent guest conducting highlights include engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; the San Francisco, Houston, Milwaukee, Vancouver, Colorado and Phoenix Symphonies; Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra; and the Florida Orchestra. He recently conducted the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra with Time for Three for a PBS special.. 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 (NWS). He has conducted the NWS in Miami Beach, in Washington, D.C. and at Carnegie Hall, and recently returned to conduct the NWS on subscription concert with Joshua Bell as soloist. An accomplished pianist and clarinetist,

Abrams has appeared as a soloist with a number of orchestras—including playconducting the Ravel Piano Concerto with the Fort Worth Symphony and the Jacksonville Symphony—and has performed chamber music with the St. Petersburg String Quartet, Menahem Pressler, Gilbert Kalish, Time for Three and John Adams, in addition to annual appearances at the Olympic Music Festival. Abrams was a protégé of Michael Tilson Thomas from the age of eleven, and studied conducting with Otto-Werner Mueller and Ford Lallerstedt at the Curtis Institute of Music, and with David Zinman at the Aspen Music Festival; he was the youngest conducting student ever accepted at both institutions. Abrams is also an award-winning composer and a passionate educator. His 2009 Education Concerts with the New World Symphony (featuring the world premiere of one of Abrams’ own orchestral works) were webcast to hundreds of schools throughout South Florida. Abrams has performed as a keyboardist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, won the 2007 Aspen Composition Contest, and was the Assistant Conductor of the YouTube Symphony at Carnegie Hall in 2009. He has held residencies at the La Mortella music festival in Ischia, Italy, and at the American Academy in Berlin. Teddy was a proud member of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra for seven seasons and graduated from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with a bachelor of music, having studied piano with Paul Hersh.

BOB BERNHARDT Principal Pops Conductor This season, Bob Bernhardt begins his 37th consecutive year with the Louisville Orchestra as Assistant Conductor, then as Associate Conductor, then Principal Guest Conductor of Kentucky Opera, and is now in his 22nd season as Principal Pops Conductor. For nearly four decades, he’s been a constant presence with the LO and continues to bring his unique combination of easy style, infectious enthusiasm and wonderful musicianship to the city and orchestra he loves. Bernhardt is concurrently Principal Pops Conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony in Michigan and Principal Pops Conductor and Music Director Emeritus of the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera. He previously spent 19 seasons as Music Director and is now in his 26th year with the company. He is also an Artist-in-Residence at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. 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, Bernhardt has made his conducting debuts 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 has a continuing thirteen-year relationship with the Edmonton Symphony, conducting there several times each season, and as Festival Conductor for their Labor Day Festival, Symphony Under the Sky. He 6

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 Vail, Boston, Nashville, Detroit, Edmonton, Florida, Grand Rapids, Las Vegas, Baltimore, Santa Barbara, Portland, Louisiana and Rochester; made his debut with the Utah Symphony and Calgary Philharmonic; and will conduct the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa for his first time this season. His professional opera career began with the Birmingham Opera in 1979, two years before he joined the Louisville Orchestra. He worked with Kentucky Opera for 18 consecutive seasons; and with Chattanooga Opera, 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 an Academic All-American baseball player. (While not all the research is in, Bernhardt believes that 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 two children, Alex and Charlotte, live in Seattle. He and his wife, Nora, live in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

MUSICIAN HIGHLIGHT DONNA PARKES, p r i n c i p a l

My musical adventures began at the age of nine when I discovered my instrument—the trombone. Growing up in Canberra, Australia, I was incredibly fortunate to attend a school with a wonderful instrumental music program. My older sister already played trumpet, which meant the options were down to the French horn and the trombone; for me, the choice was an easy one. The trombone sound has always fascinated me—so much like the human voice—and one that I still love creating. I quickly realized the importance of practice, allowing me to play with many bands and ensembles. I am still grateful for the incredible teachers I had in my formative years that set me on a journey of truly valuing the art of making music. Playing trombone was my way to connect with other musicians and audiences and explore the world. I finished my undergraduate degree in Australia and moved to Chicago for grad school at DePaul University. Living abroad opened up amazing opportunities like the New World Symphony in Miami. I loved moving to different parts of the United States to perform—particularly with the San Francisco Symphony and the Utah Symphony. My career has meant performing in places as diverse as Malaysia, Spain, Switzerland, the Sydney Opera House and even Doha in the Middle East. Even when there was no common language or culture the bridge of music has allowed me to connect with both musicians and audiences across the world. The magic of being a musician is 8

trombone

that you have this ability to share art anywhere with anyone, and I will never take that for granted. Joining the Louisville Orchestra in 2008, I had no idea just how much I would come to appreciate this city and the orchestral musicians with whom I share this stage. My other passion is running, and Louisville has the most beautiful city parks. I have run eight marathons, including the Boston Marathon. The solitude of a long run gives me the same sense of calm that a long trombone practice session does. Running and music are a great combination for me— challenging me to see how much I can grow and improve. Despite my give-away accent, I consider myself a local and am proud of the role the Louisville Orchestra plays in our community. Whether it is a performance at a homeless shelter or a visit to a class of 4th graders, I have the unique privilege of connecting with the people of Louisville through music. Supporting the arts makes our community thrive and our sense of connection stronger. Thank you for being here as such an integral part of the Louisville Orchestra family, and enjoy the performance!

S TORM LARGE , V o c a l i s t

STORM LARGE: musician, actor, playwright, author, awesome. She shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the CBS show Rock Star: Supernova, where despite having been eliminated in the week before the finale, Ms. Large built a fan base that follows her around the world to this day. In the 2018-2019 season, Ms. Large performs her one-woman autobiographical musical memoir Crazy Enough at La Jolla Music Society and Portland Center Stage, celebrating the show’s ten-year anniversary. Highlights of the season include debuts with the Philly Pops, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Seattle Symphony, and the Maryland Symphony, as well as return engagements with the Houston Symphony, New York Pops, and the Louisville Orchestra, with whom she

recorded the 2017 album All In. Ms. Large continues to tour concert halls across the country with her band Le Bonheur and as a special guest on Michael Feinstein’s Shaken & Stirred tour. Recent highlights include engagements with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Memphis Symphony, and the Knights, as well as performances at the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago. Alongside Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey, Storm joined Michael Feinstein as special guest with the Pasadena Pops. Ms. Large made her debut as guest vocalist with the band Pink Martini in April 2011, singing four sold-out concerts with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. She continues to perform with the band, touring nationally and internationally, and featured on their CD Get Happy. Large has also sung with Grammy winner k.d. lang, pianist Kirill Gerstein, punk rocker John Doe, Rufus Wainwright, and Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer George Clinton. In 2007, Ms. Large starred in Portland Center Stage’s production of Cabaret with Wade McCollum, earning her glowing reviews. Her next endeavor,

A U D I E N C E

the musical memoir Crazy Enough, played to packed houses in 2009 during its unprecedented 21-week sold-out run in Portland. She went on to perform a cabaret version of the show to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival, and Joe’s Pub in New York. Her memoir, Crazy Enough, was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah’s Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. In 2014, Ms. Large and Le Bonheur released a record designed to capture

their sublime and subversive interpretations of the American Songbook. Entitled simply Le Bonheur, the recording is a collection of tortured and titillating love songs: beautiful, familiar, yet twisted … much like the lady herself.

A U D I E N C E

Johannes Brahms Johannes Brahms (7 May 1833– 3 April 1897) was a German composer, pianist and conductor of the Romantic period. Born in Hamburg into a Lutheran family, Brahms spent much of his professional life in Vienna, Austria. His stellar reputation and status as a composer are such that he is sometimes grouped with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven as one of the “Three Bs” of music, a comment originally made by the nineteenth-

century conductor Hans von Bülow. Brahms composed for symphony orchestra, chamber ensembles, piano, organ, and voice and chorus. A virtuoso pianist, he premiered many of his own works. He worked with some of the leading performers of his time, including the pianist Clara Schumann and the violinist Joseph Joachim (the three were close friends). Many of his works have become staples of the modern concert repertoire. An uncompromising perfectionist, Brahms destroyed some of his works and left others unpublished.

A U D I E N C E

Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator. His music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the Classical masters. While many contemporaries found his music too academic, his contribution and craftsmanship have been admired by subsequent figures as diverse as Arnold Schoenberg and Edward Elgar. The diligent, highly constructed nature of Brahms’s works was a starting point and an inspiration for a generation of composers. Embedded within his meticulous structures, however, are deeply romantic motifs. His fourth is the last of his symphonies. Brahms began working on the piece in Mürzzuschlag, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1884, just a year after completing his Symphony No. 3. The work was given its premiere in Meiningen on October 25, 1885 with Brahms himself conducting. The piece had earlier been given to a small private audience in a version for

two pianos, played by Brahms and Ignaz Brüll. Brahms’ friend and biographer, Max Kalbeck, reported that the critic Eduard Hanslick, acting as one of the page-turners, exclaimed on hearing the first movement at this performance: “For this whole movement I had the feeling that I was being given a beating by two incredibly intelligent people.” Hanslick, however, wrote also that “[for] the musician, there is not another modern piece so productive as a subject for study. It is like a dark well; the longer we look into it, the more brightly the stars shine back.” The symphony is rich in allusions, most notably to various Beethoven compositions. The symphony may well have been inspired by the play Antony and Cleopatra, which Brahms had been researching at the time. Progressive rock group Yes’s keyboardist Rick Wakeman abridged and arranged the third movement for various keyboards in the instrumental Cans and Brahms from the 1971 album Fragile.
