SUMMARY:The Classix Series: Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Towering masterpieces dominate the opening concerts of the Reno Phil’s 58th season. Driven by rhythm and bold expression\, the vibrant pulse of Mariachitlán by Juan Pablo Contreras moves with confidence and purpose—direct\, energized\, and alive. Audience favorite Jon Nakamatsu returns to the stage to tackle the ultimate challenge\, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3\, one of the hardest-to-master works in the repertoire. After its premiere in New York City\, a critic wrote that “it’s great length and extreme difficulties bar it from performances by any but pianists of exceptional technical powers.” Nakamatsu brings command and intensity to this iconic work\, creating a gripping exchange between soloist and orchestra. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 stands at the fault line between Classical restraint and emerging Romantic force—bright\, propulsive\, and charged with forward motion. Beneath its radiant surface lies a restless\, assertive energy that crackles with propulsion and tension\, revealing Beethoven on the brink of redefining what a symphony could be. \nON THE PROGRAM\nJuan Pablo Contreras Mariachitlán\nLudwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 2\nSergei Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3

SUMMARY:Free Family Concert – Tchaikovsky Discovers America
DESCRIPTION:Free Family Concert\nWiggles welcome\, MEMORIES MADE \n“There’s an electric energy in this country… all these people\, so generous and open-hearted… their ideas\, their dreams\, their music… all flowing together like a mighty river – everything tumbling toward the future!” – Tchaikovsky describes what he’s discovered in America. \nThe Reno Phil presents Tchaikovsky Discovers America by Classical Kids LIVE! \nBased on the actual historical event\, this story tells of the great composer’s arrival in New York for the grand opening of Carnegie Hall in 1891 and his famous trip to Niagara Falls.

This is a poignant story of the meeting of old world influences and new world experiences; a tale of contrast\, courage and classical music.\nAudiences will enjoy more than twenty-five excerpts of the composer’s music including passages from his three famous ballets – The Nutcracker\, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake -The 1812 Overture\, First Piano Concerto and String Serenade. The music is magically woven into the drama as two actors recreate historical incidents from the composer’s life and dance story passages from his famous ballets. This delightful concert\, dance and story performance is approximately 50 minutes in length and is an ideal introduction to the orchestra for young listeners. \nPlaza Activities: Enjoy special activities for children on the plaza and in the concert hall lobbies related to the theme of the concert\, including a coloring station\, craft station\, and more.
