Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival Highlights Music from All Cultures

July 15th, 2024

Since 2019, the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival has celebrated the many cultural groups that call Nebraska home, through world-class performances, eye-opening workshops, transcendental jam-sessions and all kinds of other events that celebrate Nebraska’s unique cultural environment.

Working with the New York Philharmonic gave the festival national exposure. Many other successes from last year’s festival are being celebrated, according to Olga Smola, the Executive Director of the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival. 

This piece represents music from all cultures involved with the festival, it’s became so important to those involved with performing it. The music will not only be shared with the people in Nebraska, it’ll soon be touring Europe, too. 

It’s the mission of the festival to continue creating pieces of music such as this one. Showing that amazing art can come from Nebraska is vital to everyone involved with this event. 

You can hear globally recognized pieces and culturally diverse music at the Nebraska Crossroads Music Festival which takes place on August 4-11 in Omaha and Lincoln. For more information about the festival and the showcase concerts, visit nebraskamusicfest.org.
