Omaha Performing Arts announces an exciting addition to its 2018-2019 season.

New Worlds is a fascinating encounter between great music and literature featuring two masters of their craft, actor Bill Murray and cellist Jan Vogler. The program showcases American values in both art forms and how American writers, actors and musicians have built bridges between America and Europe. New Worlds premiered in June 2017 at Germany's Dresden Festival and at the Napa Valley Festival in July 2017. The performance has been celebrated around the world.

The charm, energy and creative force of New Worlds comes from some of the strongest voices that influenced generations in America - Twain, Hemingway, Whitman, Cooper, Bernstein, Gershwin and Foster. Tickets start at $49.
