Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra (LO) have received a wave of recent praise from local and national government organizations for the success of their “In Harmony” statewide tour and GRAMMY win for work on Yuja Wang’s album The American Project. A letter from Senator Mitch McConnell (R) congratulated them on their GRAMMY win, writing “This distinction serves as a fitting recognition of your talent, perseverance, and dedication to artistic collaboration and further establishes Louisville as a vibrant creative community. I'm confident that the Commonwealth will continue to benefit from your artistic excellence, and I wish you the best in your future projects.” Also in recognition of their GRAMMY, the Kentucky Senate passed a resolution “in honor, celebration, and with the utmost pride in Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra,.”

In addition to being awarded a key to the city from Mayor Craig Greenberg (D), Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) made a proclamation in honor of Abrams and the LO at the orchestra’s Frankfort show on February 28th . Earlier in the month, Abrams received a certificate of special congressional recognition from Representative Morgan McGarvey (D).
