PIONEER CENTER for the PERFORMING ARTS
Reno Phil’s beloved Classix Series kicks off in 2022 with the Belius Violin Concerto! Each special performance brings together three unique and superior artistic voices together in an intriguing juxtaposition of old and new. The program begins with Harlin, a nod to dance music that just might move you to move your feet. The evening continues with Haydn’s most extraordinary and dramatic symphonies, the last of his London series. The concert concludes with the introduction of an up and coming performer, Alexi Kenney, known for his insightful and artistic interpretations. Kenney will tackle what is notoriously known as one of the most difficult concertos ever written, and the only one Sibelius ever wrote. For more information and ticket sales, visit RenoPhil.com.
