Join the Omaha Symphony for an unforgettable performance titled "Bottesini & Beethoven 8" at the Joslyn Art Museum on Sunday, October 6th at 2:00 PM. This concert features Principal Bass Nate Olson as he takes on Giovanni Bottesini’s Double Bass Concerto No. 2, a piece that showcases the virtuosic capabilities of the double bass, often compared to the works of Paganini for its operatic flair and technical demands. Alongside Bottesini's masterpiece, the program includes Ottorino Respighi's Ancient Airs & Dances, Suite I, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8, a work known for its energetic and humorous character, embodying the spirit of goodwill and the power of orchestral music.

Under the baton of Music Director Ankush Kumar Bahl, this concert promises to be a celebration of musical brilliance, featuring the Omaha Symphony’s own Nate Olson. Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony, with its lively tempos and joyful energy, alongside Bottesini's concerto, offers a unique blend of classical music's emotional depth and technical prowess.
