About me:
The Reno Philharmonic Association’s mission is to provide world-class, innovative musical performances and exceptional educational and outreach programs that attract the widest possible audience.
The orchestra, made up of over 60 local and talented musicians, performs under the leadership of Music Director and Conductor Barry Jekowsky in Reno and in various outdoor and indoor venues throughout northern Nevada and California. The popular MasterClassics Series is performed on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday evenings between September and April. The orchestra also presents over 10 specialty performances, like the holiday classic, Spirit of the Season, Rhythm and Rawhide, 4th of July in Genoa, Broadway on the Beach at Sand Harbor, and the perennially sold out, Pops on the River.
The Philharmonic also boasts an impressive and diverse education department, which includes two youth orchestras, a series of eight “Young People’s Concerts” performed throughout the school year, “Celebrate Strings,” an in school violin instruction program, and a “Discover Music” program, which brings music ensembles into schools.
The orchestra has received special recognition in recent years having been named the “Best of Reno Award” from Reno Magazine in 2006 and “Best Performing Arts Group” in Reno nine times from 1991-2001 by Reno Gazette-Journal readers. The Philharmonic and the Reno Philharmonic Guild have 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 editors and readers of the Reno News and Review.

February 29 is a date that occurs once every four years, in years evenly divisible by 4, such as 1988, 1996, 2008 or 2016 for the Gregorian calendar, which is most widely used in the world today. Although the modern calendar counts a year as 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Every four years, an extra twenty-four hours have accumulated, so one extra day is added to that calendar to keep the count coordinated with the sun's apparent position.
Thank you for the Add, and thank you for the Celebrate strings program. My children have enjoyed it very much. Now if you could create a program to assist low income kids to obtain an instrument of their own.. that would amazing!
