Ogallala Arts Council to host concerts featuring Young Original, Mexican Brass (Interview with Mary Jensen and Shirai Armstrong)

OGALLALA, Neb. — The Ogallala Regional Arts Council will kick off its fall concert season Sunday with a performance by Young Original at the Ogallala Performing Arts Center.

The concert begins at 4 p.m. at Ogallala High School. Young Original is a quartet of musicians with ties to Branson and Nashville, blending classic melodies with jazz, folk and other genres.

“This is a very energetic group that appeals to all ages,” said board member Mary Jensen during a recent interview on Z 93.5 Country's Sandhills Spotlight.

Tickets are available at the door. Memberships, which include admission to all five annual concerts, will also be sold beginning at 3 p.m. Sunday.

Memberships start at $30 for individuals, $60 for couples and $75 for a family of four.

“It’s one of the best values out there,” said Shirai Armstrong, the council’s membership chair. “An individual pays $15 at the door, but a membership breaks down to just $6 per concert — and these are world-class performers.”

The season continues Oct. 8 with Mexican Brass, a touring quintet known for its mix of classical and modern flair. That concert begins at 7 p.m., also at the Ogallala Performing Arts Center.

Council leaders encouraged residents across Keith County and surrounding areas to attend and consider supporting the arts through memberships.

“Our members, donors and partners help us bring these concerts to Ogallala,” Jensen said. “It’s not just about great music — it’s about bringing the community together.”

For more information on memberships or upcoming performances, visit the Ogallala Regional Arts Council’s website or stop by the Performing Arts Center before the Sunday show.
