The Guide

Richard Strauss was one of the most brilliant orchestral composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His music demands technical precision, tonal depth, and expressive maturity from every section of the orchestra.

UNLV student musicians are tackling two of his most substantial works. Don Juan (1888) established Strauss as a major voice in European music — bold, virtuosic, and dramatically charged. The Suite from Der Rosenkavalier distills the richness of his famous opera into sweeping waltzes, lyrical solos, and complex orchestral textures.

Internationally acclaimed organist Damin Spritzer appears in the Paul S. Hesselink Organ Concert Series. Her performances have been praised for clarity, color, and expressive depth. A performer, scholar, and recording artist, she is an associate professor of organ at the University of Oklahoma and performs regularly throughout the United States and abroad.

On their final tour together, brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad return to Las Vegas to take a final bow at the UNLV Performing Arts Center as the last guitar concert of the season. Their performances blend folk, jazz and various styles of Latin music with works from the classical repertoire.
