An Afternoon of Playing With The Pros With the Reno Phil

The Reno Phil invites the entire community to “Play for a Day,” an afternoon of music making under the leadership of Music Director and Conductor Laura Jackson, and musicians from the Reno Phil Orchestra on Sunday, January 6, 2019.

“Bring out those old instruments and play for an afternoon in a fun, energetic, and collaborative setting alongside other musicians from the community,” said Laura Jackson, Music Director and Conductor.

Musicians from the Reno Phil Orchestra will be coaching and mentoring local musicians of all levels, with the day culminating in a free community concert. 

Participants will rehearse beginning at 2:00pm and perform a short concert at 6:00pm. The concert will take place at Billinghurst Middle School, with proceeds benefitting the Washoe County School District Music Programs. The registration fee is $30 per musician.

“No matter what your musical level is, you are invited to register. We want this to be a fun community event with kids, teachers, families, neighbors and friends playing next to each other! The more the merrier!” Jackson, said.
