About the Reno Philharmonic:

Founded in 1969, the Reno Philharmonic debuted its first public performance on August 3rd at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. The Reno Phil has grown to become Northern Nevada’s largest performing arts organization, showcasing the talents of 60 to 95 professional musicians at each orchestra concert. Laura Jackson, Conductor and Music Director, is in her 16th season leading the orchestra, which, along with the Reno Phil’s youth orchestras and ensembles, presents around 60 concerts annually to over 40,000 people. Committed to serving the community, the Reno Phil strives to reach under resourced populations, including those living at or below the poverty line, people with disabilities, and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities.

To further strengthen and enrich the region, the Reno Phil collaborates with other arts and community groups. Each season we regularly partner with nearly 20 local organizations to bring engaging programs and cultural experiences to the community, including A.V.A. Ballet Theatre, City of Reno, Greater Nevada Field, Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, the University of Nevada, Reno, and Washoe County School District.
