Louisville Orchestra announces final “In Harmony” schedule

The Louisville Orchestra is thrilled to announce the final leg of their highly successful “In Harmony – The Commonwealth Tour of The Louisville Orchestra” including a new performance in Frankfort. After two years of captivating performances across Kentucky, the orchestra is set to embark on their last series of concerts this February and March.

The newly added date to the tour schedule is set to take place at Western Hills High School in Frankfort, Kentucky on Wednesday, February 28, 2024. This exciting addition provides an opportunity for music enthusiasts in Frankfort and surrounding areas to experience the world-class talent of the Louisville Orchestra.

The tour kicks off in Corbin, KY at the Corbin Arena on Tuesday, February 27, 2024. From there, the orchestra will continue to captivate audiences in Frankfort, Paducah, Bowling Green, Danville, and Fort Knox, with performances at various renowned venues including Western Hills High School, The Carson Center, SKYPAC, Norton Center for the Arts at Centre College, and Sadowski Center.

The February and March “In Harmony” tour leg highlights the music Kentucky is famous for – bluegrass. The tension between tradition and innovation is at the core of bluegrass music, and so we have brought in the man who is widely known as the bluegrass fiddler of his generation, Michael Cleveland, whose musical style exemplifies this musical tug-of-war. Joining Michael on the stage with the LO will be his band, Flamekeeper. The band was formed by Cleveland in 2006 and has received the International Bluegrass Association’s “Instrumental Group of the Year” award seven times. Flamekeeper includes Josh Richards, Nathan Livers, Jasiah Shrode, and Chris Douglas.

As part of their commitment to making music accessible to all, the Louisville Orchestra is offering free tickets for all tour concerts. However, reservations are required to secure a seat. Tickets can be reserved at LouisvilleOrchestra.org/InHarmonyTour.
