McDonald Carano is proud to be a corporate sponsor of the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society and we invite you to attend a special live performance on August 11 by two of Reno’s finest violinists, Laurentiu Norocel and Claire Tatman, who team up to present a collection of violin music spanning old time fiddling to classical selections inspired by Eastern European folk music and finishing with a nod to the contemporary. Between the musical selections, Reno’s own master violin maker, Tim Dodd, will present a hands-on demonstration explaining how the form of the instrument translates into its acoustic magic. The concert features violin solos and duets played by the artists using violins made by Tim. The event begins at 7:00 pm on April 11 at Craft Wine and Beer (22 Martin St., Reno, Nevada) and admission is complimentary.
McDonald Carano’s sponsorship of the Toiyabe Chamber Music Society is led by Senior Counsel Sylvia Harrison who has served as President of TCMS since 2019. Sylvia is a violinist, violist, and cellist, and plays viola and violin in numerous community and semi-professional orchestras. She is also a four-term member of the Board of Trustees for the Reno Philharmonic Association where she has chaired the Educational and Artistic committees and served on the Governance and Executive committees. During her work with the Education Committee, Sylvia was largely instrumental in the development of the youth orchestras, helping recruit a dedicated conductor for the advanced ensemble, which regularly performs in prestigious venues throughout the U.S.
Founded in 1974, TCMS is non-profit organization presenting chamber music performances featuring local musicians, accomplished professionals from throughout the U.S., and new and commissioned works by area composers. TCMS also provides chamber music workshops and hands-on educational opportunities for aspiring musicians of all ages. Historically, TCMS offered summer concerts in Incline Village where the audience was comprised primarily of local residents and tourists visiting for the summer season. During the Covid-imposed hiatus in 2020, the TCMS Board reflected on a new model for the organization to reach a wider audience and better fulfill its goals. Beginning with the 2021 season, TCMS’ venues expanded into Reno and Carson City, and in 2022 TCMS lengthened its season and presented performances in venues in Reno and Fallon. For the 2023 season TCMS expanded presentations in the metro and outlying rural communities. TCMS changed its name to the “Toiyabe Chamber Music Society” as it is no longer focused solely on the Tahoe area. The name evokes the geographic area of northwestern Nevada and rural communities that TCMS serves.
