Concerto Info
The orchestra was formed in 1998 and is recognized as a not-for-profit organization by the State of Nebraska and the Internal Revenue Service.
From 1998-2001 Rev. Steven Grant served as Conductor and Music Director of the Omaha Municipal Orchestra.
When Rev. Grant moved to Florida in 2001, Dr. Christopher Stanichar took over as Music Director and conductor from 2002 through the 2005 season at which time he stepped down to focus on leading the orchestra program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
In June 2006 the name of our ensemble was changed from the Omaha Municipal Orchestra to Orchestra Omaha, and Mr. Ken Meints was named as Music Director after a year long search from a field of very talented applicants.
The 2007-2008 season represents the 10th season of concerts for our orchestra.
The performances are presented at various locations in and around Omaha.
Orchestra Omaha is an orchestra of volunteer/amateur musicians. The players are dedicated to performing great music at a high level of proficiency. The orchestra also has a mission to provide a venue for Omaha area soloists to gain experience and bring great works to our audience. All concerts are performed without cost to the audience.
The Orchestra is actively recruiting players, primarily strings and double reeds. All interested players should contact 402-561-8295 or e-mail info@orchestraomaha.org
