The November concert brings acclaimed violinist Anne Akiko-Meyers back to the Reno stage. When Ms. Akiko-Meyers was last here for the season finale of the 2003-2004 season, Jack Neal wrote, “[She] is terrific in all ways. She plays with a ravishing sound. …her playing does not, however, merely fly across a dazzling surface, but plays sensitively to the concerto's lyricism and depth of character.” Thirteen CDs to her credit, Ms. Akiko-Meyers tours extensively throughout the world and is highly sought after as a soloist for concerts, festivals, live broadcasts and television commercials. In 1986, she joined the Young Concert Artists roster, and in 1993, she was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, the only artist to be the sole recipient of this annual award. She will perform the Barber Concerto for Violin. The concerts on November 17 & 18, 2007, will also feature Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol and the crowd pleasing Mussorgsky-Ravel composition Pictures at an Exhibition, last performed by the orchestra in 2004.

Prices start at $26 with discounts available to seniors. Students with valid student ID can come early for “rush” seating ½ hour before performance for $8.00.
