Published July 02, 2009 11:58 am - The Louisville Orchestra will perform in concert Friday in downtown Glasgow in front of city hall. Concert kicks off Fourth of July weekend By GINA KINSLOW Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — The Louisville Orchestra will perform in concert Friday in downtown Glasgow in front of city hall.
The concert is set to get under way at 7 p.m. and will feature a combination of classical and patriotic music. This year marks the 10th year for a concert to be conducted prior to the Fourth of July and the sixth time the Louisville Orchestra has performed in Glasgow. “Having the Louisville Orchestra perform in Glasgow is one of the greatest events to take place in this community,” said Ann Stewart, marketing director for the Glasgow-Barren County Chamber of Commerce. “It’s just so much fun! I’ve served on the concert committee since its beginning in 1999 and it’s exciting to watch the crowd grow from year to year — families being together to celebrate the birthday of our nation.” Various food vendors will be available in front of the Barren County Courthouse beginning at 5:30 p.m. A limited number of chairs will be provided, but concert-goers are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs for seating on the courthouse lawn. “You may bring your own picnic supper, but do not bring glass containers,” Stewart said. Setup for the concert will begin Friday morning, so traffic access to portions of the downtown area will be limited. “The west side of the square, Race Street, will remain open all day,” she said. “Parking on the east side (Green Street) will be closed beginning at 8 a.m. The east side will close to traffic at noon. Parking on the south side (Washington Street) will be closed beginning at 1 p.m. The south side will close to traffic at 3 p.m. The north side (Main Street) will close to traffic at 5 p.m.” Glasgow is not the only town in Kentucky where the Louisville Orchestra performs. “We do quite a few,” said Toni Robinson, director of operations for the orchestra. The orchestra has traveled to Elizabethtown and Bardstown for concerts, she said. “There’s a couple of different places we’ve been,” Robinson said. Traveling to other cities across the state, reaching out to other communities, is part of the orchestra’s mission to share its product, she said. “I think most importantly a lot of smaller communities may not have the opportunity to see a professional orchestra,” Robinson said. “It’s a way to share that culture with other communities.”
