“This will be the first time in the orchestra’s 17 seasons that it will perform Sunday afternoon concerts.  Many of our patrons have expressed interest in attending an afternoon performance so we are excited to share this opportunity for greater flexibility and convenience with them,” says Michele Madole, Las Vegas Philharmonic’s Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations.   “And what better way to welcome those new to attending the Philharmonic but by offering them the option for great entertainment on a Sunday afternoon.”

The 2015 – 2016 concert season, which begins on Saturday, September 12, will include 15 performances in Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center with the addition of the new weekend matinees.  Currently, the Las Vegas Philharmonic is selling 10-concert and 5-concert Series I, II and III subscriptions, a Tuesday night Spotlight Series in Troesh Studio Theater and individual tickets to its Series II and III programs in Reynolds Hall.
