Reno Phil

Prokofiev’s Fifth

Sunday, April 3, 4:00 PM

The Reno Phil welcomes Grammy Award-winning soprano, Jessica Rivera, for Strauss’s sensually beautiful work, Four Last Songs. Possessing a voice praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “effortless precision and tonal luster,” she is known as one of the most creatively inspired vocal artists performing before the public today. Prokofiev’s genius burns with brooding intensity in the darkly passionate Fifth Symphony, inevitably known as a victory celebration. Its ending points to a radiant future, leaving its listener anxious, excited, and searching for more.
