Opera Omaha is accepting submissions for the 2025/26 Poetry & Music Project, which connects K-12 student poets with composers to create original music and explore the connections between poetry and music. From the submitted poems, nationally renowned professional composers will select poems that move them. The composers then create original music inspired by the poem and share their work with the poet in collaborative workshops to ensure that the essence of the piece has been captured. The program then culminates in public performance of the selected poems, now songs, with the poets, their families, and community members in attendance so they can see the fruits of their labor that come from this season-long project.
