Dear Friends,
MESSAGE FROM THE LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA
Teddy Abrams Music Director
A U D I E N C E4
We are thrilled to welcome you to the opening concerts of our 2022-23 Season — performances filled with all the things that make music such an important part of our lives. Here, you’ll find the energy, excitement and the new, but we also offer the affirming — music that is powerful and creative. Creativity is what this season is all about. Along with all the music that we know and love, including classical masterpieces of Beethoven, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Schumann, we have put a focus on music that speaks to our lives today. The highlight of the season for me is the launch of the Louisville Orchestra Creators Corps. This innovative and unique program is a creative catalyst for our whole community. The music of these composers will be featured in our Festival of American Music alongside two brilliant symphonies by an American hero, Leonard Bernstein. Our Pops concerts put the spotlight on some outstanding talents as Kelli O’Hara, Capathia Jenkins, Denzel Sinclair, and other extraordinary entertainers join Principal Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt on our stage. And if you haven’t looked over our Family Series or special event concerts, you are in for a wonderful surprise. We premiere a very special movie created by Pixar animators collaborating with my friend and internationally acclaimed composer Mason Bates. Philharmonia Fantastique (Nov 12 at Paristown) is a new generation’s visually dazzling introduction to the orchestra. These are performances that will delight every music lover! Creativity. Inspiration. Entertainment. And sheer “goose-bump” moments await you in the 85th Season at the LO. Let’s get started!

and audiences for her astounding range of sounds, technical agility, and musical elegance. In 2020 she was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Classical Instrumental Solo category and received one of Lincoln Center’s prestigious Emerging Artist Awards, the special Hunt Family Award. Other recent honors include a 2018 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and a 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Silver Medalist in the 9th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, and winner of the 2012 Naumburg International Violin Competition. A budding superstar in the classical realm, she is also a highly acclaimed fiddler in the tradition of her native Kentucky, delighting audiences with programming that includes Appalachian and bluegrass music and inspiring composers to write for her.
Concertgebouw, the Music Center at Strathmore, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, San Francisco Performances, Ravinia, the Seattle Chamber Music Society, Australia’s Musica Viva Festival, and the Marlboro, Mostly Mozart, Bridgehampton, and La Jolla summer festivals.
Her newest recording, The Stradgrass Sessions, is scheduled for release in 2022 and includes collaborations with composer-performers Jon Batiste, Edgar Meyer, Michael Cleveland, and Sierra Hull; original works by Tessa; and the premier recording of John Corigliano’s solo violin composition STOMP.

Ms. Lark has been a featured soloist at numerous U.S. orchestras, recital venues, and festivals since making her concerto debut with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at age sixteen. She has appeared with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra; the Louisville Orchestra and the Buffalo Philharmonic; the Albany, Indianapolis, Knoxville and Seattle symphonies; and has been presented by such venues as Carnegie Hall, New York’s Lincoln Center, Amsterdam's

In addition to Tessa’s performance schedule, she was recently named Artistic Director Designate of Musical Masterworks, a chamber music presenter in Old Lyme, CT, for the 2021-22 season, and assumed the role of Artistic Director on July 1, 2022. Tessa is also a champion of young aspiring artists and supports the next generation of musicians through her work as Co-host/Creative of NPR’s From The Top, the premier radio showcase for the nation’s most talented young musicians; and as Mentor and board member of the Irving M. Klein International Strings Competition.
Tessa’s belief in music’s power to foster global connection and community across boundaries manifests in her genredefying collaborations. Along with the Lark and Thurber duo, new projects include a string trio with composerbassist Edgar Meyer and cellist Joshua Roman and a duo partnership with jazz guitarist Frank Vignola.
A superstar in both the jazz and classical worlds, he has been fusing the two – the fusion genre dubbed as ‘Third Stream’ – in his original compositions for years. His Violin Concerto is among his most ambitious compositions. It clocks in at nearly three-quarters of an hour, and each of its four movements is a kaleidoscopic melting pot of musical styles. The composer describes it thus:
with all types of virtuosic chicanery and gets us intoxicated with revelry and then… goes on down the Good King’s highway to other places yet to be seen or even foretold.
As in the blues and jazz tradition, our journey ends with the jubilance and uplift of an optimistic conclusion.–WyntonMarsalis

TYLER TAYLOR (B. 1992) Louisville native Tyler Taylor is interested in identitymusicaland the diversity that can be explored through his compositions. His identity and experiences as a person of mixed race have influenced his musical expression, drawing on elements of hiphop, rhythm & blues, and European art music. Facades is a 2-minute orchestral piece from 2014, when he was a senior at Univ. of Louisville. Taylor chose the title Facades to provide context for what you see when you peek behind barriers around an object. He thinks of Facades as an orchestral fanfare, and acknowledges the influence of composers he regarded highly at that time: Bartók, Lutosławski, and especially Stravinsky.

electronic synth-pop band that focused on making music at the intersection of queerness, pop culture, and the supernatural. Megalopolis, a 6-minute piece composed in 2013, opens with timpani and piano in low register, rather like a heartbeat. As the orchestra gradually creeps in, the music gains intensity as well as volume, without sacrificing the underlying pulse that propels it forward. An interlude with harp and other instrumental sliding pitches provides contrast, establishing its own more relaxed pace. These two sonic threads coalesce in a grand, climactic build. A sequence of chimes ushers in a second maelstrom of activity, evoking a city that never sleeps.

In this work, he consolidated the many influences to which he had been exposed during his nomadic years.

was planned as a piano concerto. Though it rapidly took on a more orchestral persona, the presence of the piano is integral to the Symphony's character. Particularly in the strident first movement, the prominent piano part links it strikingly with Petrouchka, a ballet from half a lifetime beforehand. But other characteristics relate the work to Stravinsky's neo-classical period in the 1920s and early 1930s: the concertato style, pitting small groups of instruments in dialogue with one another and the motoric rhythmic patterns reminiscent of Baroque music. The piece thus takes on the merged personalities of both symphony and concerto, more like a symphony with piano concertante

THREE COMPOSERS SELECTED FOR LO'S INAUGURAL PROGRAM
Lisa Bielawa, one of three composers selected to the Louisville Orchestra’s new Creators Corps, likes to think big. She dreams of large-scale works, with a full fleet of musicians and a raft of audience participants -- sometimes set outdoors in spacious locales. Like a project she dreamed up for the Tempelhof airport in Berlin. Or, an online work involving the input of hundreds of content contributors. She likes historical events, like the day in 1783 when a big-shot French count chickened out of taking a hot air balloon flight, and a woman bystander became the first female in history to fly, jumping in the basket and saying, “Let’s go!”
Which explains why Bielawa is particularly pleased to be teaming up for a year with the Louisville Orchestra and conductor Teddy Abrams – a music director who loves nothing better than turning his symphony and community artists loose on a big project that can fill the stage at Whitney Hall – and maybe beyond!
At least that’s the way Bielawa is envisioning a year in residence in Louisville, working with Abrams, the orchestra, and the city: A chance to think big, and the encouragement to do so.
Fellow Corps composers TJ Cole and Tyler Taylor are also thinking of the reach and impact (though perhaps at a more modest scale) that a full-time association with the Louisville Orchestra affords.
“The concept of the Creators Corps is so much in mind of the kind of things I’ve been doing, but I’ve never had an orchestra to partner with,” says Bielawa. “It’s a chance to amplify the reach and impact of my work.”
CREATORS CORPS
by Bill Doolittle
Abrams says it goes both ways, that access to the talents of the composers is just as great an opportunity for the orchestra. And the city.
A U D I E N C E 19
“Lisa, TJ and Tyler are consummate examples of 21st Century artist-leaders,” says Abrams. “Their musical talents match their intellects, and they all share

a remarkable sensitivity to the needs of the world beyond musical composition.”
A U D I E N C E20
Composer TJ Cole is interested in the intersection of electronics and live music.
Before arriving in Louisville in August, Cole was in touch with Louisville Orchestra director of education and community engagement, Sarah Lempke O’Hare.
“The orchestra has partners and projects they’re already doing,” says Cole. “So it looked like a great place to dive into a few different things and learn about the different ways in which music can engage with the community.”
To create a concert at the end of the year, Cole’s group was joined by local college music students. Philadelphia has a ton of those, but Cole notes they are scattered through the city’s many colleges. “The project brought together different segments of the community who might never have engaged together. Including students. It really felt special.”
And then there’s the commissioned composition. Cole says the work may feature an element of electronics, as well as the symphony’s live musicians.
“One of the things I’m really drawn to about electronics is that you can make these huge, impossible sound worlds,” says
The Creators Corps composers will each receive a one-year salary of $40,000. The orchestra is providing customized workspace, and patrons of the symphony have arranged for a home for each composer. The inaugural class of the Creators Corps will be introduced through their music at concerts early in the season with the symphony performing a preexisting work of each. All will be involved in musical and civic projects throughout the season, and in January and March the orchestra will premier new compositions by each composer.
Louisville native Tyler Taylor joins the inaugural class of the Louisville Orchestra’s Creators Corps.
Cole, a native of Atlanta, and graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, in Philadelphia, noted in her Creators Corps application a project she had worked on at Curtis. “I did a fellowship for a year where I worked in songwriting workshops with individuals who had experienced chronic homelessness,” says Cole. “The workshops involved individual and group meetings where we would just discuss music. They would bring in lyrics or musical ideas and we would talk about how we could make those into music.”
But like a budding actor waiting tables in New York City, Taylor took a coffee shop job in Louisville, wedging practice time on his French horn into spare moments away from the grind. Taylor says things opened a bit in 2021 and as he picked up a few playing gigs and composing commissions he was able to cut back on coffee shop hours.
But now, in the Creator Corps, Taylor has a whole house to himself. “When I wake up in the morning,” he says with a laugh, “I can just cut loose!”
The Creators Corps position now frees Taylor to concentrate on composing —
Lisa, TJ and Tyler are consummate examples of 21st Century artist-leaders. Their musical talents match their intellects, and they all share a remarkable sensitivity to the needs of the world beyond musical composition.
for the first time in his life. And practice his French horn.
Cole. “Like you could make an entire choir out of just your own voice, or, like reverse the sound of a cello and stack it upon itself — 20,000 times if you wanted to!”
A good subject to ponder, though. “I’m really interested in that intersection of live orchestra, music and electronics,” Cole says. “And I think the Louisville Orchestra is an orchestra that does want to push the boundaries of what an orchestra does.”
“I’ve always lived in apartments, with roommates, or small apartments with neighbors close by, so I always had to go over to the university to practice,” says Taylor. “I just didn’t feel comfortable opening up on the horn at any hour.”
“It does miss the element of live music,” the composer admits.
Louisville native Tyler Taylor is a graduate of the Youth Performing Arts School and the University of Louisville. He added postgraduate degrees in composition at the Eastman School of Music and Indiana University, then set out on a professional musical life — just as the pandemic closed so many doors for young people.
Musically, Taylor especially values the access he’ll have to top professional players — which he feels is a key component for growing his composing skills: Finding players who can play his music, and having his work performed on a serious stage … with the larger classical music world tuned in to hear what the orchestra and its Creator Corps is "Anddoing.that’s exactly the idea," says LO Executive Director Graham Parker.
A pause on that.

“The entire LO family is dedicated to delivering on this new model and showcasing it across Metro Louisville, "the Commonwealth, and the country,” says Parker. “It’s a new chapter of innovation for the Louisville Orchestra, trying to fundamentally change the conversation around creativity and the creative process."
