Parker issued an emailed statement: ‘I have been inspired by the Louisville Orchestra and the work we have done together. It is some of the proudest of my life and career.’
He said he wanted to spent more time with his family in New York.
His departure came four days before the orchestra announced its 2025-26 season. Parker had worked closely with music director Teddy Abrams.
