While our friends at the Joslyn Art Museum complete construction of their extraordinary new addition, we will be performing our Symphony Joslyn Series in the newly renovated Jan and John Christensen Concert Hall at the University of Nebraska Omaha’s Strauss Performing Arts Center. The Strauss Performing Arts Center (SPAC) serves as the center of musical activity for the UNO School of Music and provides a space for community engagement.
Borrowing from himself, Haydn’s Symphony No. 60, “Il Distratto,” exudes all the warmth, good humor, and comedy of errors found from its original source, a play called The Absent-Minded Gentleman.
Paired with the beloved Brandenburg No. 5, Mendelssohn’s love-letter to Scotland closes our Symphony Joslyn series with the dances and tunes he delighted in during his trips to the British Isles.
