The Reno Pops Orchestra has been hosting its annual Concerto Festival for the past 16 years. This event is part of the orchestra’s community outreach, intended to encourage growth in our local musicians and to showcase some exceptional talent at our concerts. In 2021, we decided to open the festival up to solo pieces, as well as concertos, to encourage participation and to grow the event. Congratulations to our winners!
