The National Orchestral Institute Celebrates Young Classical Musicians In College Park Showcase

O'Neil Arnold

The National Orchestral Institute and Festival highlights the talent of young classical musicians during an annual month-long showcase at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in College Park. Teddy Abrams, the 29-year-old Musical Director of the Louisville Orchestra, is among those selected to participate in the NOI following a rigorous application process.

On Saturday, Abrams will conduct Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1  Titan. The work will be accompanied by a dance performance. 

Abrams joins Tom on the line to discuss his efforts to bring classical music to young people growing up in a world of synthetic music.  

Teddy Abrams will be performing at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park on Saturday, June 18. The show starts at 8pm. Find ticketing information here
