Patti LaBelle with the Omaha Symphony

Patti LaBelle, Vocals
Thomas Wilkins, Music Director Laureate
Joshua Roman, Cello

For more than 60 years, LaBelle’s resplendent voice has left an indelible mark all over the world. This Philadelphia born entertainer captured her first hit in 1962, as lead singer of The Bluebelles and went on to receive worldwide acclaim with the trailblazing and genre bending trio, Labelle. A solo artist since the 1970s, Patti has created timeless songs that have helped cement her place as a music icon and garnered her numerous honors, including GRAMMY® Awards, American Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, New York Times bestselling books, and more. Among several great songs from her repertoire, Patti LaBelle will perform hits such as “Lady Marmalade,” “If Only You Knew,” “You Are My Friend,” and “New Attitude.”

To top it off, we're delighted to welcome back Music Director Laureate Thomas Wilkins and nationally renowned cellist Joshua Roman, performing Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations, a lush and elegant work considered to be one of the greatest cello compositions of all time.
