Join us at Miller Symphony Hall on April 25 & 26, 2026, for a transformative evening of music. The program features Mozart’s Requiem, renowned for its profound emotional depth. Also on the bill is a new cello concerto by rising composer Joe Jaxson, written for cellist Jalayne Mitchell. Jaxson describes the piece as a “vehicle for Jalayne,” aiming to channel her personal journey into a performance that embodies possibility, hope, and optimism amidst life’s chaos. The concert also includes Autumn Maria Reed’s Mental Health Suite, a poignant composition that reflects on the complexities of mental health, offering a space for reflection and understanding.

Mozart’s Requiem

Miller Symphony Hall

Like a great masterpiece shaped by time and intellect, the Reno Phil embarks on the pursuit of knowledge, where music unfolds with curiosity, discovery, and profound insight. At the heart of the evening is Nathan Amaral, the first prize winner of the 2024 Sphinx Competition, whose artistry illuminates Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto—a work of exquisite elegance and fiery virtuosity, as if the violin itself is searching for truth in every soaring phrase. The journey begins with Autumn Maria Reed’s Robin’s Eye View, a vivid and imaginative exploration of the world from above. The night reaches its pinnacle with Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, a work Robert Schumann once prophesied as part of Beethoven’s legacy, declaring that Brahms, wielding his “magic wand,” would reveal “wondrous glimpses into the secret world of the spirits.” From its stormy opening to its triumphant, hymn-like finale, the symphony wrestles with struggle and revelation, culminating in an exultant resolution—a testament to the brilliance that emerges when passion and intellect collide.
