DESCRIPTION:The Reno Jazz Orchestra presents “An Afternoon of Romance – The Al Jarreau Project” on Mother’s Day\, May 10\, 2026\, at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, Nightingale Concert Hall.  Renowned vocalist Nicolas Bearde joins the 17-piece orchestra to honor Jarreau’s legendary sound and style. \n“Perfect for a Mother’s Day outing\, An Afternoon of Romance blends live jazz\, nostalgia\, and heartfelt celebration in an intimate concert experience\,” said Greg Johnson\, Ph.D.\, music director for the Reno Jazz Orchestra. “Whether you’re searching for a unique Mother’s Day event\, a live jazz performance\, or a tribute to one of music’s great innovators\, this performance promises an afternoon of elegance\, rhythm\, and unforgettable music that everyone will enjoy.” \nKnown for his smooth vocals and dynamic stage presence\, Bearde will bring fresh energy to beloved classics while staying true to the spirit of the original recordings. Audiences will enjoy iconic songs including “We Got By\,” “We’re in This Love Together\,” and “Spain\,” along with other fan favorites that showcase Jarreau’s genre-defying artistry. \nBearde is a singer-songwriter\, actor\, and educator whose 35-year career has taken him from humble beginnings to stages worldwide. With a style compared to Lou Rawls\, Nat King Cole\, and Bill Withers\, he is celebrated for his velvet voice\, wit\, and engaging live performances. \nBearde has several special projects that accentuate his passion and appreciation for Jazz; among them are Jarreau and Beyond\, A Salute to Lou-The Music of Lou Rawls\, I Remember You-The Music of Nat King Cole and The Timeless Tunes of Burt Bacharach. \nHe has headlined venues across the U.S. and internationally.

Today\, that tradition continues through top performers connected to the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and throughout the West. \nFor almost 30 years\, the orchestra has and continues to create Big Band experiences\, from jazz classics to famous tunes from the Great American Songbook and innovative contemporary compositions. Each season\, popular guest artists join their performances that inspire\, celebrate and fuel the future of the magic of jazz. \nThe concert starts at 4 p.m. Tickets (with pre-reserved seats) are $40 or $50 and are available by visiting RenoJazzOrchestra.org or calling 775-372-6160.
