Dec 21 | The Nutcracker & All That Jazz with The Nebraska Jazz Orchestra

A landmark celebration of musical heritage and community; the Hastings Symphony Orchestra, in its 100th Anniversary Season, is partnering with the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra (NJO), celebrating its 50th Season, for a special Holiday Concert. By blending the timeless grandeur of the HSO’s symphonic sound with the vibrant energy of the NJO’s jazz arrangements, the performance promises to be a dynamic and festive celebration that appeals to audiences of all ages.

This partnership honors the rich histories of both ensembles while celebrating their shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and cultivating local talent. By uniting two distinguished musical organizations for a one-of-a-kind performance, the event invites central Nebraska audiences to experience the HSO in their own backyard. It offers rural residents access to culturally enriching music they might not otherwise encounter, strengthening community identity, reducing isolation, and creating a shared celebration that enhances regional quality of life.

This concert is sponsored in-part by The Hastings Community Foundation. https://www.hastingscommunityfoundation.org/
