Meadowlark Music Festival

Bringing a world of music to Nebraska

Meadowlark Music Festival's 2023 Season!

Xavier Foley - winner of the Sphinx and Young Artists Competition, Xavier is a virtuoso bassist and composer. His recent performances and commissions include the Santa Fe ProMusica, The Philadelphia Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony, and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

Astral Mixtape - an award-winning multifaceted quartet that joyfully combines the spectacle of pop, the spontaneity of jazz, and the experimentation of contemporary music into their original compositions and arrangements blending classical instrumental virtuosity with the sounds of their generation.

Mark Feldman - arguably the most versatile violinist of his generation. Mark has recorded over 200 records with Nashville country stars, toured and recorded with dozens of jazz greats including Joe Lovano, Chris Potter, John Abercrombie, collaborated with avant-garde artists such as John Born, David Douglas, and given the premier of Guss Janssen's Violin Concerto with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic.

Meadowlark's 20th Anniversary Promo (2022)

Many thanks to everyone who came out to support Meadowlark last year! We had a marvelous time at our 20th Anniversary Celebration in April with Lincoln's own Ezinma sharing the stage with the Ravnan String Quartet and the Voices of Victory Gospel Choir — a concert that blew the roof off Kimball Recital Hall!
And then in July we enjoyed a sublime evening of jazz under the whispering Prairie Pines featuring acclaimed vocalist Jackie Allen and saxophonist Paul Haar accompanied by Jeff Jenkins, Hans Sturm, and Michael Warren.

of St. Paul church. It was a grand conclusion for one of the best Meadowlark festivals in recent years." Lincoln Journal Star
