Eleven prize-winning Black and Latinx musicians will be in residence, rehearsing and performing with the Classical Tahoe Orchestra, and taking part in a customized experience of mentoring and networking. Classical Tahoe and Sphinx share musical ambassador Weston Sprott, Classical Tahoe Trombone, recipient of Sphinx Medal of Excellence, and Dean of the Preparatory Division at The Juilliard School.

PBS Reno will film and livestream seven concerts, July 30 through August 15, 2021. A fully-produced six-episode series will air in January 2022 and be available online and through the PBS Video App. PBS Reno broadcast of the 2020 Classical Tahoe series is available to view free of charge at PBSReno.org/classicaltahoe.
