The Las Vegas Philharmonic has launched a new collaboration with Nevada School of the Arts, through which NSA’s Chamber Orchestra students receive intensive mentoring from LVP musicians in conjunction with NSA educators through professional coaching and side-by-side performances. The series includes three formal coaching sessions in fall and spring of 2019-20, with each session culminating in a free public side-by-side performance with students and professional musicians from the LVP and NSA, the first of which took place on November 4. Further performances are planned on December 8 at Nevada School of the Arts Auditorium, and March 1, 2020 at Green Valley Presbyterian Church, and May 3 at NSA Auditorium. The initiative is the first program to debut under the Philharmonic’s new Music SPARK program, which encompasses all of the organization’s education and community engagement efforts under one umbrella. “The Las Vegas Philharmonic is deeply committed to young musicians in Las Vegas, and is thrilled to be partnering with NSA to launch a new program bringing the talent of LVP musicians into the education system more directly,” said LVP Executive Director Lacey Huszcza.
