Spotlight on the Lincoln Youth Symphony In Austria
The Lincoln Youth Symphony in Lincoln, Nebraska, recently toured Austria and performed in the American Celebration of Music concert series. They visited the cities of Innsbruck, Vienna, Salzburg, and Graz and performed to warm and appreciative audiences. The following is a quote from Dr. Bob Krueger, Orchestra Director:
From our arrival in Vienna to our departure, the trip was well planned with a good balance between structured group activities and unstructured time to explore each town. Our tour manager in Austria also did a great job of suggesting places to visit that were not originally on the itinerary, but ended up being some of the highlights of the trip…Our performance in the Orangerie in Schonnbrun Palace was inspiring - getting to perform in front of an enthusiastic audience of 450 people was a special treat. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and can’t wait to return to Austria!
