About this user

The Reno Philharmonic Association's mission is to produce inspirational orchestral performances of the highest quality for broad audiences, support exceptional educational and outreach programs, and provide leadership in the performing arts community.

The Reno Philharmonic Association is the largest performing arts organization in the region, with over 60 professional musicians under the leadership of Music Director Laura Jackson. They perform in Reno, Carson Valley, and the Lake Tahoe region in various outdoor and indoor venues. Reaching over 70,000 people each year, the orchestra presents more than 25 concert performances throughout the year, some free for the community. During the 2011-2012 season the RPA unveils "Phil Up!," a new three-concert pops series, with performances from September 2011 to March 2012. The popular MasterClassics Series is presented from October to April.

In Laura Jackson's first two seasons, the community has embraced her as one of their own. Her successes include the Composer-in-Residence program and the new Pops Series "Phil Up!" Ms. Jackson was named music director after the 2008-2009 audition season. She comes to Reno after completing three-years as Assistant Conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra under Robert Spano, while maintaining an active guest-conducting career with ensembles throughout the world. She studied conducting at the University of Michigan with Ken Kiesler and attended the Tanglewood Music Center in 2003 as the Seiji Ozawa Conducting Fellow.

The Reno Philharmonic Association also boasts an award-winning and diverse education department, which includes three youth orchestras, a series of 12 "Young People's Concerts" performed throughout the school year, "Celebrate Strings," an after-school violin instruction program, and the "Discover Music" program, which brings music ensembles into schools. The education programs reach over 35,000 school-aged children per year and work in tandem with the Washoe County School District to cover many areas of music and arts education.

Reno native Sean Shepherd was selected as the first-ever Reno Philharmonic Composer-in-Residence, funded by The Kennedy Foundation. His premiere of Silvery Rills was performed in March 2011. As part of that concert set, Mr. Shepherd visited local schools and worked with students on music and composition. In October 2011, the premiere of Mr. Shepherd's second commissioned works, Desert Gardens, will be presented in at the season-opener of the 43rd season of the Reno Philharmonic's MasterClassics. This premiere launches an on-going collaboration with the Nevada Museum of Art and their "Art + Environment" initiative.

In 2009, the RPA was named Promotional Group of the Year, by the Northern Nevada Advertising Association for its ground-breaking campaign for the 2008-2009 conductor search- its detailed process, the talented and diverse candidates, the use of technology to engage the community in the process, and the increases in ticket sales. In 2009, the orchestra was recognized for artistic merit and contributions to the arts industry with a Governor's Arts Award for Leadership in the Arts. The orchestra has been presented with the "Best of Reno Award" by Reno Magazine in 2006 and the "Best Performing Arts Group" in Reno nine times from 1991-2001 by Reno Gazette-Journal readers. The RPA has been honored to receive several Silver Star awards for education programs and concerts from Truckee Meadows Tomorrow for enhancing the quality of life in northern Nevada. In 2003, the Reno Philharmonic Youth Orchestras received a "Best of Reno Award" from the Reno News and Review.
