World-Class Music, Up Close.
May 6, 2026 | Member Submitted
Most traditional concert halls put distance between you and the music. The stage is far, the room is vast, and you’re one of thousands in the audience. Classical Tahoe is different.
Our open-air Ricardi Pavilion seats just 400 with the first row seated right at stage level. Our patrons say it’s everything you’d expect from a world-class orchestra, in a setting that feels genuinely personal.
This summer experience Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 close enough to feel it in your bones, hear Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 “Haffner” in an intimate setting like it was meant to be heard, witness every powerful gesture in Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, and feel the electricity of the Brubeck Summit Sextet under the stars.
All performed by today’s most in-demand jazz artists and musicians from the finest orchestras in North America, including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, L.A. Philharmonic.
These are the kind of concerts worth planning your summer around.
