Teddy Abrams interview with WRCJ: Detroit

Interview with WRCJ's Chris Felcyn

Charismatic conductor Teddy Abrams leads the Louisville Orchestra in a new recording – the first from this orchestra in nearly thirty years  – All In. This Decca Gold recording features a new work composed by Teddy, Unified Field, as well as Copland's Clarinet Concerto with Teddy as soloist. Chanteuse Storm Large joins Teddy and the orchestra for three songs: a Cole Porter classic, one of her own original works, and a song by Teddy himself.  

The Louisville Orchestra has been reinvigorated by the young Abrams, who has been compared to Leonard Bernstein for his commitment to championing new works, education, and community engagement. Since his tenure as music director began, the orchestra has seen an exceptional growth in concert attendance and general reaffirmation of the orchestra as a gem of the Louisville community.

WRCJ: Detroit - Chris Felcyn sat down with Abrams to discuss the recording and his role as orchestra leader. Listen to the attached interview
