Jim James, Teddy Abrams & The Louisville Orchestra bringing ‘The Order of Nature’ to Carnegie Hall

My Morning Jacket's Jim James debuted The Order of Nature, his collaboration with Teddy Abrams, composer, conductor and music director of The Louisville Orchestra, in 2018, and released it as an album in 2019. Jim was joined by a pared-down version of the orchestra to bring the album to life at an NYC release show in 2019, and now they've announced the NYC premiere of its fully orchestrated version, backed by the full Louisville Orchestra, conducted by Teddy, and joined by Jim. It happens at Carnegie Hall on February 20, 2021, where the orchestra will also perform Copland's classic Appalachian Spring (joined by members of the Louisville ballet) and Andrew Norman’s Sacred Geometry. Single tickets go on sale to the public on Tuesday, August 18.

Jim and Teddy discuss their collaboration on the first episode of a new podcast, Superunknown, which also features an early, "super unknown" song of Jim's.

Jim has a few other upcoming dates performing The Order of Nature, which you can see below.

Meanwhile, Carnegie Hall's new season will also include a Perspectives series featuring Rhiannon Giddens, where she'll perform on four nights from October through January. See all of her Carnegie dates below, and find more information on the series here.
