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.

NEDA Walk Louisville

National Eating Disorder Association Louisville This walk raises awareness, provides resources,and raises funds for those affected by eating disorders. 30 million Americans struggle with an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Despite their increasing prevalence, eating disorders receive significantly less funding than other major mental illnesses, and support options are often inaccessible. 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.......

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. Tickets for Upcoming LO Performances Discounted season packages are still available for the Louisville Orchestra’s many concert series. The Signature Classics, Pops, and Coffee Concerts are all presented at the Kentucky Center with the LO performing unique and adventurous programs to capture the hearts and imaginations of audiences.
