Erin Boheme

Oshkosh Symphony Orchestra

Gather your loved ones for a magical holiday concert. ’Tis the season to tell stories and come together. Perfect for children and families, this concert invites you to share the wonder and joy of opera. Sung in English, hear the enchanting tale of Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, a long established winter tradition that dates back to its premiere just days before Christmas. OSO partners with Brew City Opera to offer the whimsical storytelling. The evocative music will create cherished memories, magic, and togetherness. 

Togetherness

A concert exploring the profound feeling of belonging, this is installment three of our Antonín Dvořák symphony cycle. Here we have his pastorale Eighth Symphony, a work brimming with joy and a sense of shared humanity. Also on the program, a collaboration with UWO choirs under the direction of Dr. Kristin Ramseyer. With them, two choral masteries by Johannes Brahms will be sung. Nänie and Schicksalslied are deeply reflective pieces, brimming with beauty and hope. They remind us of our collective journey and our shared experience. This music celebrates that which connects us.

Belonging
