Reaching out with music.
Young People’s concerts
The Reno Philharmonic, in partnership with the Washoe County School District, presents Young People’s Concerts (YPCs) for over 8,000 third, fourth and fifth-grade students every year. Most attendees are students from the Washoe County School District who travel by bus to the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts. Students from other districts, private schools, and home schools are also welcome to attend.
This concert experience is intended to provide young listeners (age 7-12) with an enjoyable introduction to symphonic music, enhance live music appreciation, and hopefully inspire them to become musicians themselves.

WHAT DID YOU THINK?
All teachers are strongly encouraged to complete an evaluation form after the YPCs. The information and feedback provided by teachers is a key element in the planning of future Young People’s Concert programs. It is also used to secure grant funding for this program. Often teachers will send pictures or letters from the students reflecting their thoughts on the performance.
