The 2022/23 season begins, and Maestro Ankush Kumar Bahl and the Omaha Symphony celebrate with both brand new and beloved repertoire. Local Wunderkind, Winston Schneider, opens the season with a commission by our partners at 90.7 KVNO, Omaha’s Classical Radio, in celebration of the station’s 50th anniversary: Anniversary Overture, Schneider’s Omaha Symphony Masterworks debut and a world premiere. Then, enthralling young cellist Gabriel Martins makes his Omaha Symphony debut with one of the most beloved works in all of the solo repertoire, Elgar's Cello Concerto. The program ends with two French favorites —Debussy’s mutable La Mer and Ravel’s exacting Bolero.

During La Mer, artist Christina Narwicz will be live painting near the stage, with live video of her work being projected onto a giant screen suspended above the orchestra. This will be an experience you won't want to miss!
