Trick or Treat

Last year we added this concert to our season, and it was frightening as well as a lot of fun. The ghostly sounds of Halloween will fill the air, as the Reno Wind Symphony performs spooky themed musical selections from movies and performances, as well as jazzy and spooky selections. We will be wearing our most frightful and delightful costumes, and encourage audience members to do the same. This concert will feature music by Danny Elfman, John Williams and others. One of the musical highlights will be the popular Night on Bald Mountain by Russian composer Modeste Moussorsky.

There is a general admission charge of $10.00. All students (college, high school, middle school, etc) will be admitted FREE with their school ID card.

Veteran’s Day Salute

Please join us as we pay special tribute to the veterans of our armed forces through concert band music. Radio personality Ross Mitchell will serve as emcee for the concert. Featured selections on the program include Johann Sebastian Bach’s Little Fugue in G Minor and Claude T. Smith’s Eternal Father Strong to Save. Lincoln at Gettysburg will include a narration of the famous Gettysburg Address.

John Williams, The Master of Movie Music

In our final concert of the season, the Reno Wind Symphony will perform some of the greatest film scores of John Williams, the Master of Movie Music.

Nominated for more than 40 Oscars, and winner of five, John Williams is one of the most famous and most acclaimed composers ever. From disaster movies of the 1970s through to the present day, Williams has written thundering themes for many of the most successful films of all time, and shows no sign of slowing down at the
age of 85. The RWS, with video accompaniment, will try to answer the question – which 10 of the more than 100 film scores he has written are the best?

There is a general admission charge of $10.00. All students (college, high school, middle school, etc) will be admitted FREE with their school ID card.
