Event Spotlight
Brought to you by the letter B

Last October, we highlighted a chance to experience a day of art all themed around the letter B: visiting the Bosch and Bruegel exhibit at the Speed Art Museum, followed by a concert of Beethoven and Brahms music. That exhibit has now closed, but the Louisville Orchestra is back with another bold bout of beautiful beats this Friday, Feb. 6.
The orchestra will perform Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, followed by Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 at Ogle Center at IU Southeast in New Albany. Teddy Abrams will be conducting, with Assistant Concertmaster James McFadden-Talbot as featured violinist of the evening. Get your tickets now.
