This weekend, Tahoe Symphony comes to Carson City and Reno for two unforgettable performances.
Our “Coming Home” program brings together orchestra, chorus, and community in music that uplifts and inspires.
From the radiant voices (in seven different languages!) of Dan Forrest’s choral masterpiece, Jubilate Deo, to the sweeping, iconic beauty of Copland’s Appalachian Spring, this concert is a journey of joy, hope, and belonging right here in your own backyard.
Live music only comes alive when you’re in the room to experience it. Don’t miss this chance to gather with friends, neighbors, and fellow music-lovers as we celebrate the season of unity and renewal. Seats are still available, so reserve yours today and be part of the music that feels like home.
