Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of classical music with the Omaha Symphony's presentation of "Sound and Fury." This captivating concert is set to take place at the prestigious Joslyn Art Museum on Sunday, November 17th, at 2:00 PM. Under the baton of conductor Nick Hersh, with the notable participation of Principal Trombone Patrick Pfister, the event promises an afternoon filled with musical brilliance.

The program is a rich tapestry of compositions spanning several centuries, headlined by Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 60, Il Distratto, a piece known for its warmth, humor, and the delightful comedy of errors inspired by the play "The Absent-Minded Gentleman." This work sets the stage for a journey through the soundscapes of Jan Sandström's Wahlberg Variations and Anna Clyne's Sound and Fury, the latter drawing inspiration from both Haydn's symphony and the dramatic depths of Shakespeare's Macbeth. The concert will conclude with Alberto Ginastera's Variaciones Concertantes, showcasing the virtuosity of the entire orchestra through a series of variations that highlight different musicians or sections.

This event is not just a concert but an exploration of the velvet sound world of low brass, with Patrick Pfister's performance of the Wahlberg Variations at its center. Each piece in the program has been carefully selected to feature the best of music from multiple centuries, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
