Salute to Youth

Talented Nevada youth perform side-by-side with RCO in Barber’s famous Adagio for Strings before the winners of our concerto competition take the stage as soloists. RCO’s Sound Investment commissioning program makes its debut with a new work before the season concludes with a symphony chosen by you, our audience and supporters.

One Performance Only

Tickets to Salute to Youth must be purchased individually and may be added to your season subscription purchase.
