LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The City of Louisville honored the Louisville Orchestra for winning a Grammy.
Mayor Craig Greenberg gave the orchestra a key to the city on Friday afternoon at Old Forester's Paristown Hall.
“Our Grammy-winning Louisville Orchestra continues to make our city and our people proud through their incredible work and impact in our community and beyond,” Greenberg said in a news release. “From creative programing to more accessible performances, youth experiences and more, the Louisville Orchestra shows their commitment to our city and our people every day, and I can think of no one more deserving than this team to receive the first key to the city of Louisville."
This is the first time Greenberg has given out a key to the city since being elected.
Music Director Teddy Abrams, pianist Yuja Wang and the Louisville Orchestra won a Grammy earlier this month for "Best Classical Instrumental Solo" for their outstanding performance on Wang's album "The American Project."
"The whole point of the Grammy was to bring it home for our city so it belongs to every Louisvillian, belongs to all of Kentucky, and that's what we're so proud of. It's something we share with everyone," Abrams said.
This was the Louisville Orchestra's first-ever Grammy win.
