The Rock Star Conductor—Teddy Abrams with Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim

At age 35, Maestro Teddy Abrams is the youngest conductor of a major orchestra in the United States, and he’s done what most orchestras are desperate to do: increased the audience, young and old. He has created innovative and bold interdisciplinary collaborations with the Louisville Ballet, the Center for Interfaith Relations, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Speed Art Museum, rock musician Jim James and the Folger Shakespeare Library. He has also included Star Wars, rock, rap, hip-hop and country music in the orchestra’s repertoire. Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, contributing classical music critic at The New York Times, talks with Abrams about his vision and plans for the future.
