Gather your loved ones for a magical holiday concert. ’Tis the season to tell stories and come together. Perfect for children and families, this concert invites you to share the wonder and joy of opera. Sung in English, hear the enchanting tale of Engelbert Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel, a long established winter tradition that dates back to its premiere just days before Christmas. OSO partners with Brew City Opera to offer the whimsical storytelling. The evocative music will create cherished memories, magic, and togetherness.
This concert was inspired by Beaux Art Classic architecture in Oshkosh. Examples are the Public Library and the old Northwestern building. It fosters togetherness through its design of impressive, welcoming public spaces. The grandeur of the entrances, vast halls, and sweeping staircases were purposeful, promoting a sense of shared civic pride and community engagement, all for the good of the public.

A concert exploring the profound feeling of belonging, this is installment three of our Antonín Dvořák symphony cycle. Here we have his pastorale Eighth Symphony, a work brimming with joy and a sense of shared humanity. Also on the program, a collaboration with UWO choirs under the direction of Dr. Kristin Ramseyer. With them, two choral masteries by Johannes Brahms will be sung. Nänie and Schicksalslied are deeply reflective pieces, brimming with beauty and hope. They remind us of our collective journey and our shared experience. This music celebrates that which connects us.
This concert was inspired by Romanesque architecture in Oshkosh. Examples are Trinity Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church, both on Algoma Blvd. It embodies belonging through its monumental design and purpose, to create central gathering places, imposing presences to offer physical and spiritual refuge. The structures are intended to embrace the public, facilitating communal worship or unity.

Embrace the comfort of home. Immerse yourself in the warm embrace of Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto, performed by Oshkosh’s own, virtuosic Dr. Katherine Decker. One of the world’s most beloved concertos, it will soothe your soul. Hear the profound emotion of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s cherished ballet Swan Lake. Journey through the enchanting soundscapes of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s colorfully exquisite Capriccio Espagnole.
This concert was inspired by English Tudor Revival architecture in Oshkosh. Examples are the Public Museum and Paine Art Center and Gardens. It evokes a profound sense of “comfort of home” with its inherent warmth and solidity. It is quaint and romantic. It makes us feel well-protected and grounded. It offered us a perfect place for gathering and retreating from the outside world.
