In this episode, I talk with Teddy Abrams, Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra, about this orchestra's long and rich relationship with programming contemporary music. Teddy highlights the Louisville Orchestra Creators Corps, which brings three composers to Louisville where they work as orchestra staff members, receiving a salary and benefits. They compose new pieces for the orchestra and are deeply involved in the community. Teddy and I talk about how this program enhances the Louisville Orchestra's relationship to the community.
