Admission to the concert is free, but reservations are suggested by calling 433-9280.

The symphony will be under the direction of founder, music director and conductor Rodolfo Fernandez .

The program will feature Fernandez's arrangements of music, from classics to big band and jazz. Among the works will be "Norwegian Dance" and "Solveig's Song" by Grieg; "Song Without Words" by Tchaikovsky; "Moonlight Serenade" by Glenn Miller; "Take Five," first recorded by Dave Brubeck; and the seasonal favorite "Autumn Leaves."

The Nevada Chamber Symphony is made up of local professional musicians.

Fernandez established the orchestra in 1985 under the auspices of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. His goals for the group were to provide high quality live music, encourage appreciation of classical music, foster the development of musicians in Southern Nevada and lift the city's cultural scene.
