LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Fresh off its first-ever Grammy win, the Louisville Orchestra has announced its 2024-2025 season lineup, "A Season of Unparalleled Musical Journeys." 

"Our 2024-2025 season is a demonstration of the Louisville Orchestra's values and unique capabilities," said Music Director Teddy Abrams. "Our programming will showcase the extraordinary musicianship and virtuosity of our musicians in the widest range of repertoire. This breadth of music-making is a core part of our mission; we want to bring the world's greatest music to Louisville while demonstrating that Louisville has the world's greatest musical talent at home, too." 

According to the orchestra, the Classics Series will feature works such as Gustav Holst's "The Planets" as the season opener, "Carmina Burana" with a major choir, "Der Kaiser Von Atlantis" and "An Alpine Symphony." The season will also feature appearances from guest artists Ray Chen, Midori and Louis Lortie. 

The orchestra will perform more contemporary works as part of its Pop Series, including "Rick Steves' Europe," where travel expert Rick Steves will offer an auditory and visual tour of Europe through music and storytelling, along with '80s and '90s tribute nights with vocal talents from O-Town, NSYNC and 98 Degrees. 

Also among the highlights is the orchestra's Film Series, where it will provide live accompaniment for films including "Nosferatu," "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2."

"As we announce the Louisville Orchestra's new season, we reaffirm our pledge to be a vital and vibrant part of Louisville's cultural tapestry," said Graham Parker, chief executive of the Louisville Orchestra. "Our orchestra is a place where music meets passion, where tradition meets innovation and where every concert is an opportunity to inspire and be inspired."
