“Compose A New Canon” is a report analyzing the repertoire performed by the Reno Philharmonic from 2009 to 2024, looking specifically at the representation of composers who fall outside of the traditional classical canon. This analysis includes a comparison of the Reno Phil’s programming practices with national trends identified in the Institute for Composer Diversity’s 2022 Orchestra Repertoire Report. The written report resulting from this project will be distributed to the Reno Philharmonic’s Board, staff, and musicians in the hopes of promoting discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion in orchestral programming.
