Crossroads Festival Orchestra

2025-Strauss-Performing-Arts-Orchestra-Piano-Concerto

The Nebraska Crossroads Festival Orchestra is a flexible ensemble of leading performers from across the region and beyond, brought together each summer especially for Crossroads. Rooted in the sound of a great classical orchestra but fluent in jazz, folk, and global traditions, the group mirrors the festival’s spirit of collaboration and curiosity. Whether playing symphonic repertoire, new commissions, or cross-genre projects with guest artists, the orchestra is the backbone of our biggest musical stories on stage.
