LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- After the monumental year that 2024 was, the Louisville Orchestra announced an electrifying lineup for their 2025-26 season, featuring a special series with the Louisville Ballet and a personal concert-package from Music Director Teddy Abrams.

The upcoming season will blend together classical masterpieces with a rich variety of musical experiences, world premieres, and cross-genre collaborations.

Music Director Teddy Abrams and Concert Master Gabriel Lefkowitz visited WDRB Mornings on Monday to talk about their exciting announcement and give us some more details.

The upcoming season will detail a variety of performances, each of them different in their own way.

One of the highlights of the season includes the continuation of the Louisville Orchestra Creators Corps, featuring new works from composers Anthony Green and Chelsea Komschlies.

The Pops Series will feature reinventions of different symphonies, including Dolly Parton's Threads: My Songs in Symphony, following a journey through her legendary life and career. Rock legend Stewart Copeland will round out the series, bringing a new version of music from his band, "The Police," to the stage with a full orchestra.

The Louisville Ballet will combine forces with the orchestra for a season highlight, dancing to Appalachian Spring on the Whitney Hall Stage.

New this year, Teddy Abrams introduces Teddy's Picks, a personally-selected lineup of concerts that emphasizes the power of storytelling through music. “This season is about exploring the deep, human narratives that music can tell,” Abrams said in a news release Monday. “These concerts are designed to inspire, challenge, and connect us in new ways.”

Among the season’s special events, audiences can experience Disney’s Hocus Pocus in Concert, featuring a live orchestral performance that will bring the Halloween classic to life, and Beethoven X Coldplay, blending one of Beethoven's symphonies with Coldplay's biggest hits.

Subscriptions for the Louisville Orchestra’s 2025-26 season are now available online, with single tickets to go on sale later this year.
