"Jazz on the Green"

"Jazz on the Green" concert series kicked off its first event this last Thursday, July 12.  Since its debut in the mid 80’s, "Jazz on the Green" has entertained thousands of individuals and their families while providing a fun, family-friendly environment for all ages.  Every Thursday evening, families from all around Omaha join together to enjoy an evening of relaxation, conversation, and live jazz.  This well-known Omaha tradition originally took place at the Joslyn Art Museum and entertained over 5,600 attendees per concert at the end of its final years at the Joslyn.  It was not until 2010 that "Jazz on the Green" was moved to a new venue: Turner Park at Midtown Crossing.  This existing venue guarantees the future of Omaha’s summertime tradition while enriching the audience experience. 

 "Jazz on the Green" experience promises a variety of different jazz artists, including the likes of "The Lil' Slim Blues Band" and "Joseph Vincelli Quartet".  The variety of music that "Jazz on the Green" provides caters to a  much broader following of jazz enthusiasts.  

Be sure to look for the Counterparts staff in the familiar blue shirts as we again provide event support for this annual event.

Architects of Air 2012

The Architects of Air “luminarium” is a monumental inflatable structure, a dazzling maze of tunnels and soaring domes that immerses visitors in the beauty of light and color.  Each luminarium consists of panels of uniquely-produced plastic, fastened on-site to occupy nearly 11,000 square feet.  An interplay of Gothic cathedrals and Islamic architecture, the structure is anchored and then, in just 20 minutes, inflated to its monumental size.                                     (Taken from http://midtowncrossing.com/events/architects-of-air/)

Counterparts sold tickets, answered questions at the ticket office, and assisted in event experience interaction designed to create a memorable guest visit.  We partnered with Midtown by assisting with crowd control, as traffic exceeded 10,000 guests including early morning surges that were handled with composure and professionalism. Counterparts was asked to change the box office times to a whole hour earlier than usual due to the incredible heat that day.  At a moment’s notice and without hesitation our experienced concierges were able to set up shop and open the ticket office an hour earlier to accommodate guest needs. 

Thank you Midtown Crossing for allowing us the unique opportunity to participate in this outstanding event.  Proceeds from ticket sales were donated directly from Midtown Crossing to the Nebraska Arts Council.  We hope to see the Architects of Air luminarium again in Omaha in years to come.
