Who doesn’t think classical music when they hear someone is going to throw a block party?
I know I do.
Well that’s exactly what you’re about to get when the Louisville Orchestra throws a block party this weekend. To wrap up their 2014-2015 season, April 25th Louisville Orchestra had intended to close down Main Street in front of the Kentucky Center For the Arts (Main Street between 5th and 6th Streets) for the Brown Foreman Block Party; but due to inclimate weather they have moved it inside of the Center for the Arts’ lobby. The Block Party will still include games, food trucks, and multiple music groups; all in conjunction with their performance of Beetoven’s 5th.
Perhaps the coolest of music groups that will be performing is the Fifth Third Band Landfill Orchestra, being conducted by Louisville Orchestra Music Director Teddy Abrams, the Fifth Third Bank’s “Landfill” Orchestra is comprised of students from Hartstern Elementary, in the creation of an original piece of music to demonstrate the instruments the students made out of recycled materials collected by Fifth Third Bank branches.
The event is free and open to the public and runs from 12 PM-5 PM.
