Music in Mammoth Cave National Park has been an important part of the cave’s over 200-year modern history with classical musicians, choirs, and contemporary artists composing and often performing their music inside the cave. The park is partnering with the Louisville Orchestra to present a historic musical performance by Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra with special guest Yo-Yo Ma to celebrate how the grandeur and fascination of our natural environments, like caves, and deep human histories can inspire creativity for the artistic world and reach new audiences. The performances will feature music inspired by and composed especially for Mammoth Cave by Musical Director of the Louisville Orchestra, Teddy Abrams.
