Well, we did it! We got through the first full season of the
Omaha Consort. There were some monumental highs, some deadly lows, and a lot of
genuinely fun moments. This sort of thing doesn’t just happen but is the result
of lots of people working like lunatics behind the scenes. So here’s to Jason,
our Artistic Director who found the wonderful music and the musicians to play
it, Larry, our Treasurer, who always knew exactly where we stood, Katie, the
Company Secretary, who kept her cool when everyone else was loosing theirs, Dominic,
a “Force of Nature”, Matt who provided the best choir in Omaha, Mary who
listened to all my problems then solved them, Lori and Shelly who pulled off
magic again and again, Lisa who has never been known to tremble in the face of
grant writing and, of course, the Joslyn Castle for surrounding us with a
beautiful building.

Two "Firsts" for the Omaha Consort
Phill Smith's new composition was magnificent . And that was the first "first"
And a second "first"..it was the first time anyone has ever played a twelve foot Alpine Horn in the music room at the Joslyn Castle. Jason's pre-concert talks get better and better.
