Printed in the U.S.A. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE RCO - In November, we are excited to present a conductor-less program for the first time. Concertmaster Ruth Lenz leads Vivaldi’s four Seasons in an intimate style which reflects early chamber ensembles of that era. - Martin Chalifour, perennially popular concertmaster of the L.A. Philharmonic, will act as Artistic Director for the 15th annual Nevada Chamber Music Festival in December. He brings together a collection of some of the finest performers from around the world for an inspiring week of concerts around our area. In August, we said goodbye to Chris Morrison, who departed from the Executive Director position after years of service to the RCO in a variety of roles. On behalf of our board, staff ear RCO Friends, and musicians, I would like to thank him for his D two decades of passion and commitment to the orchestra.
