Move over, Mozart. Hello, hip hop.
The Las Vegas Philharmonic has broadened its artistic reach over the last decade. It is performing traditional classical concerts, but also music from movie scores, opera, The Beatles and the Looney Tunes. The orchestra has even performed behind Las Vegas lounge and comedy headliners.
Now, it’s supporting one of the biggest rappers in music.
This weekend at the Wynn, the Phil plays with Nas as they reproduce the rapper’s seminal 1994 album, "Illmatic."
Guest: Enrico Lopez-Yañez, guest conductor, Las Vegas Philharmonic
