First Edition Club Benefits

Join the First Edition Club, an exclusive group of donors whose contributions of $3,000 or more make a profound impact on the Louisville Orchestra. Members enjoy unparalleled access, including VIP events, behind-the-scenes experiences, and personal recognition throughout the season.

After a 1937 flood, the Louisville Orchestra was founded to help revitalize the city, later making history in 1950 by launching First Edition Records, the first orchestra-owned label. With over 450 new works commissioned, Louisville became a hub for contemporary music. The First Edition Club honors this legacy, inviting major donors to join us in shaping the future of orchestral music.
