Abendmusik Youth Masterworks

More than three hundred local high school students gather together at Lincoln's Lied Center to perform Abendmusik's 50th Anniversary Season Youth Masterworks Festival.  Singers from Norris High School and Lincoln's East, Southeast, and Southwest High Schools, accompanied by the Lincoln Youth Symphony will perform excerpts from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's dramatic, impassioned Requiem.  Professional soloists Rebecca Lowe, Adrienne Dickson, Ariel Merivil, and Kyle Sandall will be featured as well.  Abendmusik's Artistic Director, Tom Trenney, will conduct the performance.  The Lincoln Youth Symphony, under the direction of Clark Potter, will also perform a spectacular orchestral work by Florence Price.

Tickets for the performance are free but must be secured from the Lied Center for Performing Arts. 

A pre-concert talk on Mozart's Requiem will be offered by music historian Dr. Pamela Starr at 6:45 p.m. in the Lied Center's Steinhart Room.
