Presenting: Issa Trap Symphony—Afrofusion! Dreamland Productions LLC, the Omaha Symphony, and the Joslyn Art Museum have partnered to bring the “trap symphony” experience to Omaha, a national trend of events in major cities like Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. combining R&B, Neo-Soul, Hip-Hop, and Trap elevated by an orchestra.  

Issa Trap Symphony will feature four Afro-fusion artists: Kevin Paradise, Joe.EZ, AJII, and Kusher Snazzy—accompanied by a string ensemble of Omaha Symphony musicians. This night of art and music also will feature Ray Bae the DJ, DJ Afrobaddie, Big Wade & Black Swan Theory, Jevon Woods, and artist Menice “Mars” Blackman. Join us after the concert for a post-program mixer with cash bar, community, and conversation.
