The Louisville Orchestra is one of several top-notch arts organizations in Kentucky. It was founded in 1937 and today remains one of the jewels in the crown of Louisville’s art scene. The 71-member full-time ensemble presents a number of concert series throughout its season, including outdoor summer concerts (2010 featured Brahms symphonies), the WOW! multimedia series, a stunning Pops series with many big names in rock and pop, and more.

The orchestra also regularly performs with the Kentucky Opera and Louisville Ballet. In 2010, the documentary “Music Makes A City” documented the formative years of the Louisville Orchestra and its impact on the community..
