Béla Fleck in Concert

University of Nebraska - Lincoln

The incredibly virtuosic banjo superstar Bela Fleck joins the orchestra for an audience favorite…with a twist! Performing his new arrangement of Rhapsody in Blue on banjo, Bela’s endless curiosity for combining genres will surely surprise and delight. Add in a few other American greats like Ellington and Porter, finish off with an epic Bolero, and you have a recipe for a concert you won’t soon forget!
