Swing into the holiday season as the 17-piece Reno Jazz Orchestra presents a selection of seasonal music with a big band sound. The Reno Youth Jazz Orchestra will open the show.
$30 General Admission / $10 Students

This season's concert will be a single afternoon performance at The Theatre, conveniently located at 505 Keystone Avenue in Reno, close to the I-80 Freeway. The venue is a wonderful space for music with plenty of free parking.

In my experience, Reno has a musical community that is of a quality far above what one might otherwise expect from a similar community of our size...

Spirits is our brand-new CD featuring the music of Earth Wind & Fire. It is the culmination of great recording sessions and studio polishing over the course of nine months. EWF’s music expresses hope, inspiration, and joy. The perfect elixir to re-engage with the world. Many of these songs you will know (and sing along) others might be new to your ears.

The RJO concluded this year's Jazz in the Schools program with an online concert featuring RJO trumpeter Julien Knowles with his quartet performing original compositions. The group played thirty minutes, then broke to answer questions from the participating students, and then the Quartet finished with another thirty-minute performance.

All combined, we contribute to the vibrancy, diversity, cultural vitality, and quality of our community’s artistic life.
