The Reno Phil and Music Director Laura Jackson perform the world premiere of Transcend on April 27, 2019 in Reno, Nevada written by Grammynominated composer Zhou Tian in celebration of the Reno Phil's 50th anniversary season.
Zhou recently provided the following program note on the piece:

About 18 months ago, I was extremely delighted to have been invited to compose a new work commemorating the 150th anniversary of the First Transcontinental Railroad’s completion in May 2019. When I learned that 13 American orchestras — located along the route of the Railroad — would join forces together to commission and premiere this new work across the country, I was truly honored, as I knew the significant cultural impact this project would entail.
