Pull Quote (200 Character Max): 
“I’m hopeful that viewers will gain a sense of normalcy during a very abnormal time, and that they will be infused with a dose of holiday spirit.” *Ted Owens
Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
The Nevada Gay Men’s Chorus is using a combination of technology and talent to present its annual holiday concert this year.

The Nevada Gay Men’s Chorus (NGMC) holiday concert has been a Northern Nevada staple for 10 years, selling out the 400-seat venue for most of them. While COVID has created a challenge in that audiences can’t attend the concert live this year, it has also created an opportunity for even more people to enjoy this annual tradition since they won’t be limited by the size of a building.

Pull Quote (200 Character Max): 
"We wanted to save music in schools. A segment of kids only come to school because of their love of music and the sense of belonging from being part of an ensemble." *Steve Martin
Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
COVID was wreaking havoc on music programs across the country, until a local conductor and his team created a way for musicians and music students to perform together virtually.

What does a conductor do when music starts to fade from the scene during a pandemic? For conductor and owner of GPG Music, Steve Martin, DMA, (ASCAP), it meant a major pivot from selling scholastic sheet music to creating  Our Virtual Ensemble (OVE), curriculum and a platform for performing arts educators to continue teaching and inspiring their students through adjusted learning environments.

Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
In November and December, you’ll have the chance to watch some of your favorite local performing arts groups from your home.

Though it’s not currently safe for crowds to gather in person, that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate fall with some of our favorite local performing arts groups! Many have gotten very creative in figuring out ways to bring their performers together (either in person or virtually) to entertain their fans through the magic of technology.

Watch the Reno Phil Perform Our State Song
Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
Here's something to watch over and over again: The Reno Philharmonic, offering a socially distanced but still moving rendition of "Home Means Nevada." We love Conductor Laura Jackson's motivational intro, and we can't wait to get back to the Pioneer Center when it's safe and sound! The theme of the 52nd season: "Music Finds a Way." This one definitely found a way into our hearts (and inspired a tear or two, if we're being honest). Enjoy!

Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
The Carmel of Reno sisters welcome you to enjoy their open house on Sunday, November 3. And you can also through their extensive selection of original holiday and general greeting cards, framable art and music.

Perhaps you’ve heard Reno has a monastery of Carmelite nuns, one with breathtaking views overlooking the city skyline. Maybe you’ve driven down Plumb Lane and seen the “Carmel of Reno” directional signage, wondering what it meant. Or it’s possible this is your first time hearing of a monastery or Carmel of Reno. Regardless of your familiarity with the concept, now is your chance to pay a visit.

"Watching my little girl dance to Baby Shark can change the world.” * Steven H.
Story Summary (100 Character Max): 
While music does have power to soothe the savage beast, it can also help lift us up when we’re feeling down. Read on to learn more about the science (and emotions) of music.

Most of us know the power of music from experience. We hear a song that brings us straight back to high school or a Christmas carol that reminds us of a long-ago family tradition. We also have that one (or maybe more) song that can bring us out of a funk and get us back on track to slay all the items on our to-do list.
