Witness the future of jazz take center stage each February at UNR

Each February, the Reno Jazz Orchestra's annual Jazz in the Schools program offers an unparalleled opportunity for growth and inspiration. Over 300 aspiring middle and high school musicians from over a dozen school jazz bands immerse themselves in focused clinics led by experts. The day reaches its crescendo with a powerful large ensemble performance in the magnificent acoustics of UNR's Nightingale Concert Hall. More than just a program, this is a vital part of the RJO's commitment to education, igniting a love for jazz while preparing these young talents for the Reno Jazz Festival and connecting them with the vibrant musical community at UNR.

The next Jazz in the Schools event will be held in February, 2026 at the University of Nevada, Reno.
