Like a spell cast in sound, the Reno Phil conjures an evening in the pursuit of magic, where music shimmers, soars, and ignites the imagination. At the heart of it all is Stravinsky's Firebird Suite, bursting into a glorious blaze of color, rhythm, and enchantment. The journey begins with Jonathan Sokol's What Trees May Speak, a mysterious and evocative soundscape where nature whispers its hidden truths. The night comes to a triumphant close with the dazzling Joyce Yang, whose breathtaking artistry transforms Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 into a tempest of passionate thundering chords, aching lyricism, and virtuosic fire.
