We're coming to you from Brevard Music Center's Summer Institute and Festival to celebrate composer, conductor, and pianist Teddy Abrams' newest album, "PRELUDES." The live performance will feature the solo piano works on the album.

The 2024 GRAMMY Award-winner for The American Project and Musical America's 2022 Conductor of the Year, Abrams created this set of keyboard Preludes as a 21st-century reimagining of Bartók's influential Mikrokosmos.

He has served as Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra since 2014. Alongside his musical work, Abrams has led a number of initiatives there — including the creation of the Louisville Orchestra Creators Corps, which provides a fully-funded residency for three composers to receive local housing, a salary, health benefits, and dedicated work spaces.

In the present season, Abrams will make his debut with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and return to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, and Curtis Symphony Orchestra. Recently, Abrams returned to the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the second consecutive year and conducted NYO2 at Carnegie Hall’s World Orchestra Week.
