One of our most popular programs for teenagers, Celebrate Creativity is an all-day exploration of the arts. Morning sessions include hands-on workshops in a variety of artistic and scientific endeavors. An afternoon concert by the Omaha Symphony Chamber Orchestra is an adventure into the lives of various composers. We also feature award-winning high school soloists. By working with music the students are performing in school, the Omaha Symphony reinforces the pursuit of excellence in its music programs.
Students also learn how professional musicians prepare for a performance.
In this unique program, the Omaha Symphony collaborates directly with the orchestra of an area high school. Meanwhile, a specialized curriculum is developed into the classrooms of different disciplines including English, drama, foreign language, marketing and science. The result is a performance with the Omaha Symphony created and performed by students. This past season, the orchestra performed in communities throughout Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri. Surrounding the Omaha Symphony MasterWorks series, the orchestra provides opportunities to explore the music.
