The Philadelphia Orchestra

The world-renowned Philadelphia Orchestra returns to Nebraska for a historic concert marking only their third performance on the Lied Center stage. Praised by The New York Times as “a formidable musician and a powerful communicator” as well as “a conductor with a vision”, Marin Alsop leads the orchestra in a program featuring Beethoven’s dramatic Leonore Overture No. 3, Brahms’ intricate Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn, and Schumann’s masterwork Symphony No. 2.

This performance is supported in part by the Anabeth Hormel Cox Lied Performance Fund.
This performance is supported in part by the Sheila Delaney Griffin Fund.
This project was made possible, in part, with support from the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts Endowment Fund.
