From the LO Press: As a part of the Brown-Forman LO Classics Series, on Saturday, November 4 at 8PM, Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra will present the world premiere of Teddy Abrams’ new genre-straddling work, The Greatest: Muhammad Ali, at The Kentucky Center. The world premiere performance  of "The Greatest: Muhammad Ali," will feature a first-rate team of collaborators. Grammy-nominated baritone Jubilant Sykes returns, not only to perform, but also to make his directorial debut, after headlining Louisville’s performance of Bernstein’s MASS two years ago, which impressed the Wall Street Journal with its “coherence, humanity, and winning theatricality.” Award-winning actor, writer, and director Olivia Dawson narrates the intricate story. Local Louisville hip hop artist and educator Jecorey “1200” Arthur returns to create the title role. Making her Louisville Orchestra debut in the female lead is Rhiannon Giddens, frontwoman of the Grammy Award-winning African-American string band known as the Carolina Chocolate Drops. The creative team is completed by choreographer Rosie Herrera, dramaturg Martine Kei Green-Rogers, and video montage curator Marlon Johnson.
