Laura Jackson, celebrating her tenth season as music director of the Reno Philharmonic, continues to win praise for her artistry, leadership, innovative programming, and creative community engagement.
Her passion and drive have helped the Reno Philharmonic reach new heights with cutting edge composer-in-residence projects, vibrant performances of traditional repertoire, and collaborations that captivate the enthusiasm of the local community as well as the symphonic industry nation-wide. She is currently spearheading a multi-ensemble commissioning project celebrating the 50thanniversary of the Reno Phil and also the 150thanniversary of one of the city’s formative historic events—the completion of the transcontinental railroad. She has invited a consortium of orchestras to join the Reno Phil in commissioning a new work by composer Zhou Tian. Partnering orchestras include the symphonies of Utah, Omaha, Allentown, and Sacramento while the list continues to grow.
In addition to classical, pops, ballet, and educational concerts with the Reno Philharmonic, Ms. Jackson guest conducts nationally and internationally. Recent performances have included concerts with the symphonies of Eugene, Hartford, Charlottesville, Hawaii, Flint, the Philly POPS, and L’Orchestre symphonique de Bretagne in France. In addition, Jackson recently returned to perform with the Atlanta Symphony, where she previously served as their first-ever female Assistant Conductor from 2004–7.
Jamie Strefeler joined the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra as principal oboe in the Fall of 2008. Prior to moving to Orlando, she was principal oboe of the Great Falls Symphony and a member of the Chinook Winds Quintet in Great Falls, Montana. She has also held principal oboe positions with the American Youth Orchestra, the Debut Orchestra and the Helena Symphony as well as the second oboe and English horn position with the Tri-Cities Opera Company.
