“Nou Edition” – Commission & Recording Project

Between the years 2017 and 2018, Louisville Orchestra Principal Cellist and NouLou Chamber Players artist Nicholas Finch was independently approached by composers Ljova, Alyssa Weinberg, and Dorian Wallace, all of whom expressed interest in writing new cello concertos for him.

In April 2019, after months of planning and fundraising, we had the honor of premiering and performing these three fantastic new cello concertos, featuring the NouLou Chamber Players conducted by Jason Seber. Thanks to a generous network of supporters, and the very generous financial support of the Gheens Foundation, we were able to help bring these works to life.

After 5 years, we are on track to turn this into a lasting project – our debut album “Nou Edition” which will be released in the Spring 2024! Financial support includes the Alice M. Ditson Fund & Snowy Owl Foundation.
