Omaha, Neb – Emmy Award winner, Grammy Award nominee, and gold-selling recording artist John Tesh joins the Omaha Symphony for a live concert experience that includes music, dance, intense emotions, and laughter at the Holland Performing Arts Center Valentine’s weekend, February 12-14. The concert will incorporate elements of Tesh’s radio show, “Intelligence For Your Life,” which can be heard on KGOR (Superhits 99.9 FM) Monday through Friday from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm.

One of the world’s most-renowned composers and entertainers, John Tesh has established himself as a charismatic and engaging musician, providing his audiences with a dazzling evening of music, comedy, romance, and a soaring spirituality. Add to that spectacular lighting effects and the talents of guest performers and “John Tesh In Concert: Music and Intelligence for Your Life” becomes a high-energy evening of music and more for the entire family.

Tesh’s personality and music took PBS by storm with LIVE at RED ROCKS and, with that success gave the former Entertainment Tonight anchor a solid fan base to showcase his musical talents. With his live concert, audiences will get to experience much of Tesh’s energy he first displayed on PBS.

The evening features his hits, as well as elements from Tesh's nationally syndicated radio show, The John Tesh Radio Show: Music and Intelligence For Your Life, which is heard by more than eight million listeners each week in more than 325 markets and was named “Best Daily Program” and “Best Weekly Music Program” by Radio Ink magazine readers.

In a 30-year career that includes investigative reporting for CBS NEWS, Olympic commentating for NBC sports, 10 years as host of Entertainment Tonight, 5 gold albums, 6 Emmy Awards, Grammy nominations, and current hosting of The John Tesh Radio Show, Tesh has established himself as a world-renowned broadcaster and entrepreneur.

Much of the wisdom that Tesh shares with his radio show listeners also appears in his critically-acclaimed book, Intelligence for Your Life – Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth, which was recently featured on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, USA Today, Publisher’s Weekly and Amazon.com best-seller lists. His new CD, JOHN TESH LIVE – GREATEST HITS VOLUME ONE was recently released and is currently available online and in stores nationwide. For more information visit http://www.tesh.com/.
