Wind Symphony

The University of Texas at Austin

Join us for an enchanting afternoon with the Omaha Symphony as we present "Rota & Schumann" at the Joslyn Art Museum on Sunday, April 6th at 2:00 PM. This captivating concert features Music Director Ankush Kumar Bahl and Assistant Principal Bassoon Nicholas Nelson in a program that promises to be a delightful exploration of classical music.

The concert will open with Michael Gandolfi's "Themes from a Midsummer Night," an imaginative piece that conjures the whimsy of Shakespeare's comedy through exquisite chamber orchestra writing. Following this, Nicholas Nelson will take center stage with Nino Rota's Bassoon Concerto, a warm and humorous tour-de-force for the double-reed instrument. The afternoon will culminate with Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 1, "Spring," a piece inspired by the composer's wife, Clara, and premiered by Felix Mendelssohn in 1841. Schumann aimed to capture the essence of the world awakening to spring, making this piece the perfect selection for an April weekend.
