Join the Reno Phil as we come back to Tahoe this summer to relive the decade that defined fun. This high-energy, can’t-sit-still concert is a nonstop joyride through the biggest #1 hits of the 1980s—packed wall-to-wall with songs you know by heart and love to sing out loud. From the heart-soaring romance of The Power of Love and Time After Time to the unapologetic attitude of Material Girl, the anthemic groove of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and the pure feel-good rush of Higher Love, I’m Still Standing, and Addicted to Love, every moment is pure throwback bliss. Featuring music made famous by iconic artists like Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Huey Lewis & The News, and Phil Collins, this concert is basically a greatest-hits mixtape brought to life onstage. Taking it to the next level are powerhouse vocalists Paul Loren, Brie Cassil, and Colin Smith, delivering hit after hit with jaw-dropping energy, backed by electrifying arrangements from Grammy-winner Jeff Tyzik.

Laura Jackson, Conductor
Laura Jackson continues to grow the Reno Philharmonic through her passion for the community, musical innovation, and leadership. Her drive has helped the Reno Phil reach new heights with engaging performances of traditional repertoire along with thought provoking composer – in – residence projects. In May of 2022, after three years of collaboration, creativity, research, vision, perseverance, and heart Symphony NO. 3 Altered Landscape was brought to life. Composed and imagined solely by Jimmy López Bellido, Jimmy developed his inspiration for the Carol Franc Buck Altered Landscape photography collection.
Ms. Jackson guest conducts nationally and internationally recently performing with the symphonies of Hartford, Eugene, Charlottesville, Hawaii, Flint, Philly POPS, L’Orchestre symphonique in France, and the Philippines Philharmonic. Jackson recorded Michael Daugherty’s Time Cycle on Naxos with the Bournemouth symphony in partnership with Marin Alsop.
Prior to her appointment in Atlanta, she studied conducting at the University of Michigan and spent summers at the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood Music Center in 2002 and 2003. As the Seiji Ozawa Conducting Fellow at Tanglewood, she conducted a variety of repertoire. Jackson spent her early childhood in Virginia and Pennsylvania before moving at age 11 to Plattsburgh, NY, where she grew up waterskiing, swimming, and sailing on Lake Champlain. She fell in love with the violin in public school, later attending the North Carolina School for the Arts to finish high school. She pursued an undergraduate degree at Indiana University where she studied both violin and conducting before moving to Boston in 1990 to freelance as a violinist and teach at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire.
