Giving Tuesday

Our 102nd Season is in full swing, and the Omaha Symphony has continued to fulfill our mission of enriching the community through the power of live orchestral music. This 2022/23 season marks a dynamic new era, as Maestro Ankush Kumar Bahl begins his second season as the 13th Music Director of the Omaha Symphony while programming centers American composers, conductors, and musicians as an opportunity to showcase the depth and diversity of our nation's top talent.

Giving Tuesday is a worldwide day of giving that falls on November 29th this year. We are proud to participate in Share Omaha’s #GivingTuesday402, a campaign supporting Omaha’s local nonprofits. As a result of collaborations with community partners, mentoring and performance opportunities, and free public concerts, the symphony reached new audiences throughout our city and beyond.

The Omaha Symphony dedicates one third of the orchestra’s time and resources to education and community engagement, and we are grateful to our donors like you for making music education possible!

Education

• The Susan Morris Adventures in Music program, our award-winning series of five music education programs, creates unique, age-appropriate musical experiences that encourage students to be active participants in their own learning.

• In the 2021/22 season, we served 27,000 students and educators from more than 300 schools between our in-person and Virtual Classroom programming and we anticipate serving even more in 2022/23.

Thank you to Omaha Steaks as a leader in the Giving Tuesday Bonus Fund of $45,000 that will be divided among nonprofit participants through our ShareOmaha partner!
