The Legends of Jazz
Join the Reno Jazz Orchestra as we welcome award-winning singer-songwriter Nicolas Bearde to share the stage and take you on a musical journey that emerged from the cultural melting pot of New Orleans in the early 20th century. Through this adventure, the Reno Jazz Orchestra and Nicolas Bearde will present compositions from the extraordinary "Legends of Jazz" and finish with a crescendo of contemporary works written by our Music Director, Dr. Greg Johnson.
