Joseph Walsh Studio crafts sculptural conductor's rail for Louisville Orchestra
Irish furniture workshop Joseph Walsh Studio has created a conductor's rail for Teddy Abrams, music director of the Louisville Orchestra, featuring a dynamic bentwood form that reflects the "energy of live music".
Joseph Walsh designed and produced the unique stage piece as a gift to the Kentucky orchestra after bonding with Abrams, who is also a Grammy Award-winning composer, over their common vision of the arts as a means of bringing people together.
Joseph Walsh designed a custom conductor's rail for Teddy Abrams Walsh was influenced by Abrams' exuberant conducting style, creating a design that breaks with the conventions of a conductor's rail as a basic platform and horizontal rail.
"As a conductor, Teddy Abrams is full of energy and tries to reach each person in the orchestra, which gave me the idea of creating a rail that would swipe around to hold him but also capture the movement, as if it is tracing the movement of the baton," Walsh said.
