The Glasgow Public Square will be filled again with orchestral music thanks to the Louisville Orchestra.
As part of the annual In Harmony Tour, the orchestra will be performing in Glasgow on June 25 beginning at 7:30 p.m., according to the Louisville Orchestra website. The June program features a lively mix of orchestral classics and American favorites, from Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 to John Williams’ iconic Star Wars theme, according to the website.
“The In Harmony Tour has transformed the way we think about what an orchestra can be,” said Music Director Teddy Abrams. “By bringing music directly to communities across Kentucky, we are building relationships, sharing extraordinary artistic experiences, and demonstrating that orchestral music belongs to everyone.”
Kentucky’s General Assembly recently awarded $3.2 million to continue the In Harmony Tour into 2028, according to the Louisville Orchestra.
“Support from the Kentucky General Assembly has allowed the Louisville Orchestra to think boldly about how we serve our entire state,” said Louisville Orchestra Board Chair Jordan Harris. “We are profoundly grateful for this partnership and for the vision of our legislative leaders. Their support ensures that communities across Kentucky can experience the power of live music and that the arts continue to play a vital role in the life of our Commonwealth.”
“We are deeply grateful to the Kentucky General Assembly for recognizing the value of this work and for making it possible for us to continue expanding it,” Abrams added.
The tour has brought music to 57,000 Kentuckians and 50 counties, according to an orchestra press release.
