Buskirk-Chumley Theater

Where do legends begin?
The BSO explores epic mythology as we end our 53rd season with Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade will add to the mystique; Mendelssohn’s Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture introduces an element of high fantasy to the program. The premiere of Antonio Medellín Fajardo’s Mar de recuerdos (Sea of Memories) rounds out this evocative, legendary performance. 

Your ticket includes a 4:00 pre-concert conversation and Q&A with Drs. Alexis Witt and Alejandro Gómez Guillén.

Lastly, all good things must come to an end. Our conductor of the past 6 seasons, Alejandro Gómez Guillén, has accepted a position with theOmaha Symphony. Don’t miss this chance to watch him lead the BSO one last time, and to wish him well in the next chapter of his career. A special Fanfare reception will be held on  May 13th. More info HERE.
