Louisville Orchestra conductor Teddy Abrams discusses 'All In' with Spokane Public Radio

Interview with Spokane PR's Jim Tenevan

Charismatic conductor Teddy Abrams leads the Louisville Orchestra in the first recording from this orchestra in nearly thirty years  – All In. Released on Decca Gold, All In 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.

TA sat down with Spokane Public Radio's Jim Tenevan to discuss the recording. Listen to the attached segment.
