The Reno Pops Orchestra will be holding its eighteenth annual Solo and Concerto Festival on Saturday, April 4th in room 144 of the University Foundation Arts Building at UNR.  We invite local musicians to enter and perform a concerto or solo for us.  Our goal is to encourage players of all ages to take advantage of this opportunity to learn and grow.  Vocalists are also welcome!

Musicians’ performances will be judged by some of the area’s top music adjudicators.  Participants will receive adjudication forms and certificates.  The overall winner of the concerto division will be featured at a Pops concert at a future date.

Enter online using the button below. Fees are $55 per entrant if received by February 20, 2026, and $65 after that date.
