The night also honored Richard Holland, a long time friend of the Omaha Symphony, as he celebrated his 90th birthday. Special guest Warren Buffett made a delightful surprise appearance at the Gala, singing “Happy Birthday” to Holland, while playing his ukulele. The night featured a private concert by the Omaha Symphony, conducted by Maestro Thomas Wilkins. Other ensembles providing music included the Mike Pollock Jazz Quartet, the Omaha Harp Circle and the Omaha Symphony violinist Anne Nagosky’s private studio of young violinists.
