On Saturday, March 28, at 8pm at the Kentucky Center’s Whitney Hall, the Cowboy Junkies join Principal Pops Conductor Bob Bernhardt and the Louisville Orchestra for the final BB&T Strings Attached concert of the 2008-2009 season.
The program will open with classical pieces that are well known to most like Claude Debussy’s Clair de lune (which is featured in the movies Ocean’s Eleven and Twilight) and Bizet’s “Les Toreadors” from Carmen. The program will also include a special guest, 14 year-old violinist Stephanie Zyzak who will perform Henri Wieniawski’s “Allegro moderato” from Violin Concerto No. 1 in F-Sharp Minor, op. 14. Ms. Zyzak is one of three winners of the Association of the Louisville Orchestra’s Young Artists Competition.
After a full first half, the Cowboy Junkies will join the Louisville Orchestra. Since 1985, the Canadian Cowboy Junkies have been crafting their own brand of independent music. They put the country into the alternative and the alternative into country…before anyone knew what alt-country was. Their cover of The Velvet Underground’s Sweet Jane showcases what the band does best – mixing musical genres into their own idiosyncratic wave without negating who they are. Consistently touring since their debut in 1985, the group released Trinity Revisited in 2008 in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the original recording of The Trinity Session – their hit-making album. -- www.louisvilleorchestra.org
