Before selected concerts in its 2026-27 season, Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra organizes a virtual conversation with LSO’s Maestro Edward Polochick and guest artists or composers, hosted by Nebraska Public Media’s Genevieve Randall or Penelope Morrow. The pre-recorded chat for each concert is available to view online as well as via podcast the Monday before the concert, and for most events is also screened in person in the Steinhart Room at the Lied Center for the Performing Arts 45 minutes before the concert begins. Please note: two of the in-person concerts are at Lincoln-area churches rather than at the Lied Center.

The chats are free to view online. The in-person screenings require the purchase of a ticket.

The entire series to date may be viewed on the LSO YouTube Channel.
