THE CLASSIX SERIES
SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE
Saturday & Sunday
January 25 & 26, 2025
7:30 PM | Doors 6:00 PM
4:00 PM | Doors 2:30 PM
The orchestra will mystify audiences with the intriguing tale swirling within Berlioz’s lovesick mind in Symphonie Fantastique. Acclaimed for his stellar stage presence and joyous musicianship, cellist Sterling Elliot joins the Reno Phil for Saint-Saens Cello Concerto No. 1. In one movement, this compact concerto moves from exhilarating energy to great charm and finally to impassioned, virtuosic lyricism. Experience the intoxicating whirlwind of Maurice Ravel's La Valse as it sweeps you away through the enchanting and tumultuous world of Viennese waltzes, promising an unforgettable evening of musical decadence and intrigue.
ON THE PROGRAM
Maurice RAVEL: La valse
Camille SAINT-SAENS: Concerto No. 1 for Cello and Orchestra in A minor, op. 33
Hector BERLIOZ: Symphonie fantastique
FEATURING STERLING ELLIOT, CELLO.

The Reno Phil’s community partners donate rooms for out of town musicians, food for events and many other needs. Without their generosity, we would not be able to provide the community with world-class, innovative music performances. We greatly appreciate their contribution to the performing arts, as well as helping keep the costs of concerts reasonable for our ticket buyers. If you’re coming from out of town and plan to stay in Reno after the concert, please consider reserving a room with one of our hotel partners.
We hear from our partners that enjoying a good meal makes our concerts sound better. You should test that theory and let us know! Please consider dining with one of these supporting restaurants before or after a concert. And say thanks for us, too.
