Join us as Meadowlark Music Festival celebrates its 25th Anniversary season with three unforgettable days of world-class music in some of Lincoln’s most unique and welcoming venues.

Since 2001, Meadowlark has brought acclaimed artists from across the country to Nebraska, creating intimate musical experiences that inspire, educate, and connect our community. This year’s festival continues that tradition with an exciting lineup spanning jazz, chamber music, and vocal artistry.

Experience the innovative sounds of Kansas City’s acclaimed Sax & Violins, where a jazz quartet and string quartet unite in a genre-defying performance. Hear internationally recognized trumpeter Brad Goode, hailed by the Chicago Tribune as “the lyrical genius of the trumpet,” alongside an exceptional ensemble of jazz artists. Then enjoy an enchanting evening of vocal jazz at Prairie Pines featuring the award-winning arrangements of Lincoln composer David von Kampen and outstanding regional vocal ensembles.

As Nebraska’s only international summer chamber music festival and a recipient of the Governor’s Arts Award, Meadowlark remains committed to presenting exceptional live music in intimate settings at accessible prices.
Join us this July as we celebrate 25 years of musical discovery, artistic excellence, and community.
