Alison Brown with Joe Craven
Oct. 16, 2008 • 7:30 p.m. • Nightingale Concert
Hall
After touring as a banjo-playing teenage prodigy, Alison Brown
took a detour through Harvard, then UCLA to earn an MBA, and
two years in finance with Smith Barney. Thankfully for bluegrass
audiences everywhere, she returned to her musical roots, earning
Grammys to go with that MBA. She’ll be joined by mandolinist,
violinist and percussionist extraordinaire, Joe Craven, whose
own creds as a member of the Garcia/Grisman band put him in
esteemed company indeed. “Alison Brown left a career
in investment banking for a life as a banjo musician. Anyone
who thinks this was a foolish move hasn’t heard her
play.” — The New Yorker. For more about Alison
Brown with Joe Craven, visit http://www.alisonbrown.net .

has led such maestros as Zubin Mehta, Isaac Stern and Pinchas
Zukerman to claim she performs musical miracles — and
Leonard Bernstein to literally fall to his knees in disbelief.
At 10, Midori debuted with the New York Philharmonic, and
today she holds a master’s in psychology from New York
University, chairs the strings department at USC and travels
as an agent for outreach, fostering accessibility for young
musicians the world over. Midori’s appearance is made
possible by a generous grant from Partners in Performance.
“Flat-out wowed everyone . . . spellbinding.”

While the Performing Arts Series prides itself in bringing
some of the finest performers in the world to the University
of Nevada, Reno each season, occasionally an unforeseen occurrence
calls for an artist to cancel a performance. If a cancellation
requires us to schedule another performer, the series will
always seek to substitute a comparable artist with similar
credentials and performance standards within a related genre.
Funding for the Performing Arts Series is provided in part
by the University of Nevada, Reno School of the Arts and Extended
Studies; the Associated Students of the University of Nevada;
the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency; National Endowment
for the Arts, a federal agency; the City of Reno Arts and
Culture Commission; Western States Arts Federation; For the
Love of Jazz; the Fulton Fund; Friends of Washoe County Library;
and Sierra Arts. Accommodations for guest artists have been
provided by the Sands Regency Casino Hotel.
