For the first time in Kentucky Derby Festival history, The Louisville Orchestra will provide the soundtrack for the 2016 fireworks show, better known as Thunder Over Louisville!
The L.O. recorded pieces from over 40 well-known works by Mozart, Holst, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. Songs from Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, and even Louisville's own My Morning Jacket, are also included in our Thunder Over Louisville soundtrack. Other traditional favorites such as, “When You Wish Upon a Star" and “My Old Kentucky Home” are also featured. The Collegiate Chorale from the University of Louisville School of Music recorded with us for the soundtrack as well.
If you can't see the show live in person it will be broadcasted on WDRB.
