For the respect and consideration of all Omaha Symphony patrons, children under 5 years of age are prohibited from attending this performance.

Music Director of the Ópera Nacional de Chile and Filarmónica de Santiago Paolo Bortolameolli joins the Omaha Symphony for a throughline of resplendent repertoire. Beethoven’s Egmont Overture bursts with intensity from the opening chord, only relinquishing its power at the very conclusion. Omaha Symphony Principal Cello Paul Ledwon takes on the gorgeous, fiery tightrope required by Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1. Finally, Schoenberg’s stunning, heartbreaking Verklaerte Nacht concludes the afternoon with beauty, pain, and love, all emerging from the rich shadows and textures created purely from a string orchestra.
