Biographical / Historical Note

The Las Vegas Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1998 in Las Vegas, Nevada by Harold Weller, Music Director and Conductor Laureate, and Susan and Andrew Tomkins, community arts supporters. The Philharmonic was established as Southern Nevada's professional symphony orchestra with the mission to "inspire a lifelong appreciation of music through performances and educational experiences for our community." The Philharmonic was originally located on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) at Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall. In 2012, the Philharmonic moved to Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center for Performing Arts, in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
