Forte

Forte: Amplifying the Strengths of Our Community

The Forte initiative combines the community programming the Omaha Symphony has collaborated on for 20 years, with the smaller more embedded engagements we explored during the pandemic. Representing and serving the Omaha area allows for long-range planning and evaluation, as well as examining all facets of the organization, from representation on stage to accessibility for patrons across all series.

Community Partners

In addition to our Forte Partners, the Omaha Symphony works in tandem with many incredible organizations across our community to bring you world-class programming

Ticket Access

The Omaha Symphony is proud to partner with agencies across the metro to work to remove barriers to concert attendance.

Do you represent an organization not currently collaborating with us on this endeavor, please connect with us at education@omahasymphony.org.

Please note, the Ticket Access program currently works with institutions, and not separate individuals at this time. If you, or a member of your household is a current student, check out our Student Rush program as a great way to see the Symphony at a significant discount.

From small ensembles at your neighborhood library to full orchestras at the Gene Leahy Mall, there is something for everyone and we invite you to come as you are! These concerts are open to the public and at no charge.
