"Orchestral music has been such a big part of my life and I love coming to concerts to hear new pieces and interpretations of the mainstays of concert repertoire! In addition to the marvelous music and entertainment, is also important to keep alive the social impacts that the Omaha Symphony has, both in the promotion of music and education in our community.
It is an opportunity to experience an auditory feast and visualize the workings of an orchestra! Maestro Bahl has even put together programs where it lets you choose your own adventure such as the Maestro's Mixtape series. Plus, as the Omaha Symphony plays contemporary music, you may be one of the first people to hear a future classic!
I'm very much looking forward to the grandiose works of Anton Bruckner, Sergei Prokofiev and Gustav Mahler. Each of their pieces possesses a thrilling, epic quality that sets the listener up for a spectacular musical resolution!
Music is an important part of history and the Omaha Symphony makes that history come alive for each performance. Orchestral music does not receive the attention and excitement that it once claimed, but I believe no one can deny its impact on contemporary music and culture. Beyond the pure joy of music I experience with the Omaha Symphony, I continue to subscribe to do my little part in helping keep that history stay alive for others!"
