Rhapsody in Blue with Teddy Abrams

A century after its debut, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue still crackles with energy—its opening clarinet glissando an unmistakable call to the thrill of jazz-age America. Teddy Abrams leads the Louisville Orchestra in this timeless fusion of classical and jazz idioms.

The program also features the world premiere of a new work by Anthony Green, marking the culmination of his yearlong residency with the Louisville Orchestra Creators Corps. Rooted in community and collaboration, Green’s work reflects the voices and stories of Louisville, bringing a fresh and personal dimension to the evening.

Closing the program is John Luther Adams’ An Atlas of Deep Time—a vast, immersive work that takes the listener through millennia of geological time and through its looming soundscapes imagines the immense forces of nature.

Performance to be held at The Kentucky Center, 501 W. Main Street, Louisville, 40202.
