Louisville Orchestra to play free concert at Wednesday’s E-Town Lawn Party

The Louisville Orchestra will be performing a free concert at Freeman Lake Park on Wednesday.

Elizabethtown is the next stop on the orchestra’s “In Harmony” statewide free concert tour.

“We started doing this touring back in November of 2022,” said Louisville Orchestra Tour Manager Elizabeth Etienne. “We received the first appropriation from the state in the summer of 2022, and we’ve been touring ever since, and we really hope to continue to be able to do it for years to come. We all absolutely enjoy doing it.”

The tour has reached 34 counties so far, and provided free concerts to 34,000 Kentuckians.

“This tour really plays to the heart of what the Louisville Orchestra is all about in our mission to really bring a symphony orchestra to every community,” Etienne said. “I think there is this kind of odd misconception that if you’re a symphony orchestra, you play in one concert hall and you ask the people to come to you and you pay a set ticket price, and that is really not what we’re trying to do here. We’re trying to break down that barrier, and meet people where they are.”

The Elizabethtown show will feature Muhlenberg County natives Joe Hudson and Shelly Hudson-Bryant.

“We always try to make sure that we highlight music that is really at the heart of what this state does when it comes to the arts, and that includes bluegrass and country, and this concert is absolutely no exception,” Etienne said. “We will be highlighting a piece called “Paradise” by John Prine that specifically calls out Muhlenberg County, and then we will also be playing a piece called “Cannonball Rag” that really leans into the Merle Travis kind of thumb-picking guitar tradition, which should be really, really fantastic.”

The concert will begin at 7:30 at the bandstand at Freeman Lake Park. Tickets aren’t necessary, but you can register for concert updates and alerts at www.louisvilleorchestra.org.
