On April 7th, Jim James, frontman for My Morning Jacket, teamed with conductor Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra for a special performance at Kentucky Center For The Arts’ Whitney Hall. During the Louisville, Kentucky show, James and Abrams debuted their highly anticipated orchestral set titled The Order of Nature: A Song Cycle.

While James tended to steal the show, he was supported by a truly stellar cast. In addition to the Louisville Orchestra, percussionist Gabriel Globus-Hoenich, University of Louisville Collegiate Chorale, Steiger Butte Singers + Drummers, and chorusmaster Kent Hatteberg were all on hand to make the evening truly magical. In addition to the debut of new compositions, the Jim James and the Teddy Abrams-led orchestra also played reimagined takes of new material off Jim James’ latest album as well as covers of Charles Reuben’s “The Human Touch” and Leonard Bernstein’s “Who Am I?”
