Our next concert is a week away on Monday the 16th at the Joslyn Castle. It will feature Omaha's finest musicians performing two masterpieces that you've likely never heard live. The Nonets of Rheinberger and Spohr will be presented for this one-hour concert. Both works are scored for an orchestra of nine musicians, featuring a solo violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn. Each part of the full orchestra is included - strings, winds, and brass - and the form of the two works are both very much like a symphony for nine.
The doors open at 6p and there is a pre-concert talk at 6:30p. The music begins at 7p and is followed by a reception that always proves to be such fun. Morning, Noon, and Night will be providing the great wine, which is complementary! Come and enjoy a good glass of wine, great conversation with our musicians and fellow patrons, and hear incredible music served in the perfect glass in the Joslyn Castle Music Room!
