First, filmmaker and native Louisvillian Owsley Brown III, recently returned home to finish up his documentary film, Music Makes A City: A Louisville Orchestra Story. Louisville Life caught up with him to discuss the orchestra’s groundbreaking achievements during the 1950s that put Louisville in the international spotlight. Viewers also hear from Rob Birman, executive director of the Louisville Orchestra, and music director Jorge Mester.

Next, Louisville Life meets another Louisville native returning home, artist Anne Peabody, who now resides in New York City. Peabody returned to install a multi-media exhibit entitled “Wheel of Fortune” at the unique 21c Museum Hotel. A survivor of the 1974 tornado that struck Louisville, Peabody says she was inspired by the storm to create her latest art piece.

Then, according to The Kentucky Encyclopedia, the Galt House was Louisville’s “best-known hostelry in the 19th century.” Et Cetera explores the famous, and sometimes infamous, story behind this celebrated hotel.

Also, Candyce interviews Elizabeth Kaznak, director of Kentucky Refugee Ministries, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing resettlement services to refugees through faith- and agency-based co-sponsorship.

Finally, Glass Art Society’s 40th annual conference will be held in Louisville this June. Louisville Life learns why the Glass Arts Society chose Louisville for its international 2010 conference.
