The Big Table - World's Largest Potluck!

Imagine two thousand Louisvillians simultaneously sharing an intimate dinner with a few neighbors. Imagine tantalizing food and even more intriguing stories. Imagine the happy excitement you feel when you connect with a new friend. Magical things happen when people get together for a meal. They eat. They talk. They connect. In a time with many opposing points of view, we need real dialogue and respectful spaces to come together as neighbors. This is what we’re hoping to create with The Big Table. At the event, people will be organized into tables of 8, some of whom will be unfamiliar. Table Hosts will help facilitate conversation among the group. We’ll share stories about the food we bring, about meaningful tables, about our lives, about ourselves. There will be no central stage or entertainment schedule. The only goal will be to engage with each other, and leave as friends rather than strangers. And we will make history as the largest potluck in the World!

Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known for. With a schedule that includes six months each year on the road, Alice Cooper brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock-rock, Cooper (in both the original Alice Cooper band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where CNN can present real life shocking images.

As a result, too many families are left feeling helpless, hopeless, and frightened – this is where we come in. Through NEDA Walks, we are raising critical funds, restoring hope, and changing the conversation surrounding eating disorders.Learn more.......

Louisville Orchestra Preview Concert

FREE CONCERT KICKS OFF NEW SEASON Teddy Abrams Conducts on Saturday September 7 at Iroquois Amphitheater The Louisville Orchestra, under the baton of Music Director Teddy Abrams, presents a free concert on Saturday, September 7, 2019, at 8:00PM at the Iroquois Amphitheatre sponsored by Brown-Forman and LG&E. Gates open at 6:30PM and no tickets are required. Parking is free. Come early! There is potential that this performance will reach capacity. In a program for the entire family, Teddy leads the LO in a wide variety of music including classical (Symphony No. 9 by Antonín Dvořák), bluegrass (Pando by Jeremy Kittel), traditional (Amazing Grace), and film (Star Wars by John Williams). The concert closes with the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. For the first time, the LO plays Strum by Jesse Montgomery, a New York-based violinist and composer. Affiliated with the Sphinx Organization, a group that supports the accomplishments of young African-American, Latino, and minority string players, Ms. Montgomery has been Composer-in-Residence with Sphinx Virtuosi since 2012. Strum is written for a strings-only ensemble. The work shows off the textures and drama available to the largest section of an orchestra – the string family of instruments. Stepping into the spotlight for solo performances will be LO musician Julia Noone and local favorite Ben Sollee. An accomplished classical violinist, Ms. Noone is also a fierce and fiery fiddle player. She is featured on Jeremy Kittel’s Pando. Mr. Sollee, cello and vocals, performs his own original works with LO.
