- **Event Name**: Teddy Conducts "Music of the Mines"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 Jan, 2027 at 07:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: This concert explores music shaped by mining communities, Appalachian landscapes, and the lives of working people, themes that resonate deeply in Kentucky and across the region. Through orchestral and choral works rooted in labor, land, and memory, the program reflects how shared experience and place are transformed into sound.

The evening opens with Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland, a powerful statement of dignity and collective strength, followed by Carl Ruggles’ rarely performed Men and Mountains, inspired by the physical scale and spirit of American landscapes. Choral works by Schubert and Jean Ritchie add a more intimate voice, drawing on mining life, Appalachian traditions, and stories closely tied to Kentucky’s cultural history.

At the heart of the program is Anthracite Fields by Julia Wolfe, the only major classical work centered on coal mining. Built from interviews with miners and their families, the piece blends chorus, orchestra, and recorded voices into a moving portrait of labor and endurance. The Louisville Orchestra is proud to co-commission this expanded full-orchestral version, bringing new scale and depth to a work rooted in lived experience.

Led by Teddy Abrams and performed with the Louisville Chamber Choir, this concert offers a connected musical journey that honors community, history, and the shared stories that shape a place.
