Very Vegas Showcase at Reynolds Hall at Smith Center

A musical mashup of epic proportions is headed to the Smith Center, where the Las Vegas Philharmonic and the Composers Showcase of Las Vegas will join together for Very Vegas Showcase. The idea began over breakfast, when Donato Cabrera, the Phil’s musical director, and Keith Thompson, founder and host of the monthly Composers Showcase at Cabaret Jazz, began chatting about a collaboration.

“We put our heads together to figure out the best way to incorporate it into a broader idea,” Thompson says. “It’s all about music that is iconic for Vegas, or came from Vegas, or makes you think of Vegas. We’re trying to let people know that there’s a lot of creativity here. The original music being generated from the creators here is phenomenal and plentiful.”

Crossover appeal will abound—the Phil’s patrons will get an evening of contemporary originals, along with music from the Rat Pack era, and the Showcase’s audience will be treated to a full orchestra. “To [play] on the big stage at Reynolds Hall with the Philharmonic is a dream come true,” Thompson says. October 12, 7:30 p.m., $30-$110. –Genevie Durano
