FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] THE B-52S WITH THE LOUISVILLE ORCHESTRA

Louisville, KY (9.12.2017)… On Saturday, October 21at 8PM, the world’s greatest party band comes to the Kentucky Center to perform with YOUR Louisville Orchestra! Principal Pops Conductor, Bob Bernhardt leads the LO with original members of The B-52s (Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson) performing fun and campy dance music like their mega-hits: “Love Shack,” “Roam,” “Rock Lobster” and “Deadbeat Club.”

When asked about performing with a symphony orchestra, Kate Pierson said: “When the Pops meets the ‘Bs’ there will be a musical, symphonic, ecstatic explosion of sound - but really the arrangements by David Campbell are really mind blowing and they add to the songs in a most spectacular way.”

Tickets for the B-52s with The LO Pops range from $87 - $27 and are available by calling 502.584.7777 or online at LouisvilleOrchestra.org.

For the best prices, pro-rated discounted Pops subscriptions are also still available by calling 502.587.8681 or online at LouisvilleOrchestra.org.

This concert is made possible by the generous support of LG+E and Fifth Third Bank.
