ScrapArtsMusic will perform in Reno as part of the University of Nevada, Reno’s 2012-13 Performing Arts Series, Thursday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Nightingale Concert Hall on the university campus.
The Canadian group’s roots in street performance and jazz + world traditions, combined with kinetic mayhem and exciting stage work, gained them an invitation to perform during the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since their founding in 2001, their world tours have elicited knock-out superlatives worldwide: “Scrap rocks…fantastic…remarkable…pure magic…five stars…WOW!”

While the Performing Arts Series prides itself in bringing some of the finest performers in the world to the University of Nevada, Reno each season, occasionally an unforeseen occurrence calls for an artist to cancel a performance. If a cancellation requires us to schedule another performer, the series will always seek to substitute a comparable artist with similar credentials and performance standards within a related genre.
The Performing Arts Series is presented by the University of Nevada, Reno School of the Arts and Extended Studies, who wish to thank these great supporters: The Associated Students of the University of Nevada and the Graduate Student Association; the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency; National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; the City of Reno Arts and Culture Commission; Western States Arts Federation; the Fulton Fund; the Edna B. and Bruno Benna Excellence in the Fine Arts Endowment; and Sierra Arts. Accommodations for guest artists have been provided by Circus Circus Hotel and Casino.
