ARTOWN CLOSING NIGHT: BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE
2021-07-31 19:30 - 21:00 | Rancho San Rafael Regional Park, 1595 N Sierra St, Reno
Sainte-Marie has spent her whole life creating, and her artistry, humanitarian efforts, and Indigenous leadership have made her a unique force in the music industry. In 1969, she made one of the world’s first electronic vocal albums; in 1982 she became the only Indigenous person to win an Oscar; she spent five years on Sesame Street where she became the first woman to breastfeed on national television. She’s been blacklisted and silenced. She’s written pop standards sung and recorded by the likes of Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Donovan, Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. She penned “Universal Soldier,” the definitive anti-war anthem of the 20th century. She is an icon who keeps one foot firmly planted on either side of the North American border, in the un-surrendered territories that comprise Canada and the USA.

Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes
2021-10-31 19:30 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Melding deep-heated flamenco, rumba, salsa and pop to the tune of 20 million albums sold, the Grammy Award-winning hit-makers behind ‘Bamboléo’ celebrate in their very own, blistering tradition – taking audiences back to the south of France with flamenco guitars and booming Spanish vocals.
From playing on the streets of Cannes and the hedonistic heights of St. Tropez, breaking world music barriers as one of the rare groups to climb the US and World music charts. Featured in the likes of The Big Lebowski, Toy Story 3 and Glee, the band has embraced western classics by Bob Marley, the Doobie Brothers and The Eagles with globe-hopping grace, whilst also incorporating dramatic cues from Brazilian and Caribbean culture.
The Gipsy Kings will raise the roof with dance-ready furor, returning to their groundbreaking eponymous album and the nomadic spirit that has led them to their latest work, Grammy Award-winning album Savor Flamenco – giving audiences the ‘deep shout at the heart of our community’.

Pink Martini
2021-12-09 18:30 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Presented by Artown
Featuring China Forbes
A massive collective with a rotating membership that’s been active since the early 1990s, Pink Martini are a little orchestra that knows no stylistic bounds. Playing classical and jazz, Latin and pop, what threads their performances together is a lighthearted, jazzy vibe that basically demands you move along with it. Pink Martini have performed with over 50 orchestras in cities around the world, from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony to the BBC Concert Orchestra. Their first live breakthrough came at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997, while their orchestral debut came in 1998 with the Oregon Symphony. The ensemble played several New Year’s Eve concerts at L.A.’s Walt Disney Concert Hall across the 2000s and early 2010s, and they’ve performed multiple sold-out concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Their live performance at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon, was aired live on NPR and eventually released in 2009 as a live CD/DVD called Discover the World. The group have also graced late-night talk show stages, including Conan O’Brien, David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Artown’s March 8, 2022 presentation of the incomparable Martha Graham Dance Company: The First and The Future, marks the triumphant return to the stage for the Company after a long 19 months, and is part of their 96th season! Martha Graham Dance Company will perform iconic Graham classics alongside a stunning new work by one of today’s top choreographers. The dancers of the Department of Theatre & Dance, School of the Arts at the University of Nevada, Reno will open the program with a special restaging of Graham’s first modernist masterpiece, ‘Heretic,’ from 1929.Then, the Company dancers take the stage with Graham’s joyous ode to love, ‘Diversion of Angels,’ which will be followed by one of her most powerful solos, ‘Immediate Tragedy.’ Reno audiences will be among the first to see ‘Scavengers’ by the much-in-demand choreographer Andrea Miller. This season premiere brings us four intimate duets that evoke our renewed appreciation of human connection post pandemic. ‘Scavengers’ also showcases the world-renown athleticism of the Graham dancers.The full Company closes the program with ‘Acts of Light,’ created by Graham in 1981 and performed in three sections. The first is a passionate duet titled ‘Conversation of Lovers’. The second, ‘Lament’, references Graham’s early modernist solo, ‘Lamentation,’ and the final section, ‘Ritual to the Sun,’ is a high-energy celebration of Graham’s famed dance language.

Shen Yun 2022
2022-03-18 19:30 | Pioneer Center, 100 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV, 89501
Shen Yun is a brilliant artistic revival and celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage. Each performance consists of about 20 pieces, quickly moving from one legend, region, or dynasty to the next. Themes range from the delicate elegance of Tang court ladies to the battlefield heroics of valiant generals, from the timeless philosophical works of Lao-Tzu to spectacular scenes of magical realms. Some pieces also touch upon the topic of today’s China, shedding light on the oppression many experience for their spiritual beliefs, such as Falun Dafa. These tales of courage are often what audience members find the most touching and uplifting.

The Go-Go's
2022-03-25 19:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Formed amid LA’s burgeoning punk and new wave scene in the late ’70s, the Go-Go’s got their start playing seminal venues like The Whiskey A Go Go and The Roxy. For their 1981 debut LP Beauty and the Beat, the band eschewed their early punk sound in favor of a more radio-friendly brand of power pop — with phenomenal results. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spawning the hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat” and earning the girls the Best New Artist award at the 1982 Grammys. 1982 follow-up Vacation was a similar success, landing two more hits on the charts and going on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Following an initial breakup in 1985, the band’s members embarked on various solo ventures, reuniting periodically over the years to record and tour. Back on the road for another highly anticipated tour, the Go-Go’s will bring their signature energy to venues around the country.

Bonnie Raitt
2022-03-30 19:00, 2022-03-30 20:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Bluesy singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt has worked long and hard for her multiple Grammy Awards, hit singles and chart-topping records. Since her 1971 eponymous debut, the California-born performer and long-time activist has steadily maintained a music career, albeit with definite peaks and valleys. The red-headed songstress, one of the only women of her time to play guitar using the bottleneck technique, unleashed seven albums in just nine years, though her big commercial break came with her 10th studio set, 1989’s “Nick of Time.” That 11-track collection, produced by Don Was, earned three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Not only has the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tackled multiple U.S. tours and international runs, but she’s also a frequent participant in events of social activism, such as Farm Aid and Amnesty International concerts.
Raitt’s 16th full-length album and most recent studio release, “Slipstream,” hit retailers in 2012. Not only did ticket sales for the support tour soar, but Raitt also landed the best-selling blues album of the year and took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album.

An Evening to RAVE About! A Night in the City
2022-04-23 18:00 - 22:00 | Eldorado Resort Casino, 345 N. Virginia Street, Reno, NV, 89501
Family-style dining, silent and live auctions, raffle, entertainment, beer and wine. To benefit the R.A.V.E. Family Center:
Providing respite to families caring for children with special needs while training high school volunteers to work with these very special children.
Families that have children with special needs have their own special need: the need for time. That means time for mom to enjoy a workout. Time for couples to enjoy a date night. Or for families to catch a movie, go bowling, play Scrabble or settle into a nice, quiet storytelling session. Those are the kinds of pleasures and pastimes that go a long way toward giving you peace, power and the ability to connect with yourself and others who are occasionally lost in the process of focusing on a child with special challenges.
In the meantime, while you’re enjoying your own moment of reprieve, your child with special needs is likely enjoying his or her own form of respite and discovery as well.
Creating these healthy moments of escape is what RAVE is all about, little “time outs” with tremendously positive outcomes.
