Nevada Chamber Music Festival is almost here

In two weeks, one of the best musical events in the United States will be happening in Reno--the Nevada Chamber Music Festival. Some of the finest classical musicians in the world will assemble for four days (December 28-31) of amazing music making. The list of artists includes principal players from some of the most important orchestras in the country, artists from around the world, and number of Reno's top players.

Some of the players who will be participating are:

Martin Chalifour, Principal Concertmaster, Los Angeles Philharmonic
Pascal Roge, prolifically recored world-renowned concert pianist
James Buswell, Grammy nominated violin soloist
James Winn, Professor of Music at UNR and former solo pianist, NY City Ballet
Ruth Lenz, Assoc. concertmaster Reno Chamber Orchestra and Reno Philharmonic

The list goes on and on, and it is remarkable. Go to the ncmf website for the complete list of artists as well as concert times and program repertoire. www.renochamberorchestra.org/ncmf

The NCMF is the brainchild of RCO music director Theodore Kuchar, who for the past 16 years has served as artistic director of the Australian Festival of Chamber Music. The AFCM has become the most important such festival in the Southern hemisphere and we have high hopes that the NCMF will grow into one of this country's preeminent festivals.

This year to encourage people to buy festival passes we are offering first time pass-buyers tickets to all 7 concerts for only $100. Certainly individual tickets are available, but this is an especially great deal we hope you won't pass up. (You would pay this much to hear one concert by these people in New York or L.A.!)

Performances will be at two Reno locations: South Reno Methodist Church (12/28-29) and UNR's Nightingale Hall (12/30-31).

Although the musical life here in Reno is much better than many people would ever imagine, this is a very rare and special opportunity and we hope you will join us.

I hope to see you at the Festival and that you and your family have a very happy holiday season.
