About this event
Conductor Anna Rakitina and 20-year-old cellist Jaemin Han make their Omaha Symphony debut in this passionate and intense concert. Dvořák’s exuberant Symphony No. 7 takes you on an exciting journey to Prague through dynamic melodies. Jaemin Han performs Schumann’s masterwork of the cello repertoire that perfectly embodies his era’s sweeping fire and passion.
Who's playing
Conductor Anna Rakitina leads the Omaha Symphony in Dvořák’s Seventh at the Holland Performing Arts Center. Cellist Jaemin Han, age 20, joins the orchestra as soloist for Schumann’s Cello Concerto, with both artists making their Omaha Symphony debuts.
What to expect
The program pairs Anna Clyne’s This Midnight Hour with Schumann’s masterwork of the cello repertoire and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 7. The concert centers on sweeping Romantic intensity: Han brings Schumann’s fire and passion to the solo spotlight, while Dvořák’s exuberant Seventh carries the evening through bold melodies and a Prague-inspired symphonic journey.
Why go
For Omaha classical music listeners, Dvořák’s Seventh is a chance to hear two Omaha Symphony debut artists in a program built around expressive orchestral color and a major cello concerto. The Holland Performing Arts Center setting also makes this a strong fit for anyone drawn to the full scale and acoustic detail of a Masterworks concert.
