Tucked away behind Oxmoor Mall, situated next to farmland-turned-soccer fields, is an absolute gem of architectural history in Louisville. Oxmoor Farm was home to the influential Bullitt family for 5 generations; now, in addition to being a museum and a bourbon destination, it is also home to some of the great classical music happening in Louisville.
Music and art aren’t new to the house, however, and in their first family-friendly collaboration, curator Shirley Harmon and NouLou Chamber Players director Cecilia Huerta-Lauf explore the way music found its way into the Oxmoor Farm of the past. With help from the Oxmoor Farm Foundation and the Fund for the Arts, they commissioned a new work to help tell the story of two women, Helen Chenoweth and Nora Bullitt.
Above, hear how characters from more than a century ago are brought to life in Sebastian Chang‘s new piece Helen & Nora, and how kids are invited to be interactive partners in a moment in history.
