Celebrating Decades of Musical Heritage
Since 1946, we've been dedicated to bringing the joy of music to our community. While we faced challenges in the 1950s and 1971 due to participation issues and fire, our commitment never wavered.
In 1979, under the leadership of Bill and Ann Nisbet, we experienced a revival. With the opening of the Elko Convention Center, we found a new venue for our concerts. The theater within, named after Ann's mother, Lorena Moren, became a cherished space for live performances.
Bill and Ann have guided us for over four decades with their passion for music and commitment to our community's cultural heritage. Today, we continue to uphold our tradition of musical excellence and look forward to sharing our love of music with you.
A Homecoming: Resuming Performances at EHS Performing Arts Auditorium
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our musical journey experienced a pause from 2020 to 2022. However, on September 15, 2022, we joyfully resumed our performances as the Elko Community Concerts returned to the heart of Elko at the newly constructed EHS Performing Arts Auditorium. This state-of-the-art venue promises to be a hub of cultural enrichment for our community, allowing us to continue sharing the gift of music with all who join us.
Honoring Our Community Partners
Special thanks are extended to the dedicated faculty members who have generously opened their doors to us, providing a welcoming space for our performances to flourish. Their tireless efforts behind the scenes have ensured the success of countless concerts and events, enriching the lives of all who attend.
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the talented students of Elko High School whose passion for the arts has illuminated our stages with their creativity and energy. Their involvement in our concerts not only showcases their remarkable talents but also fosters a spirit of collaboration and camaraderie that resonates throughout our community.
In particular, we express our deepest gratitude to Elko High School for graciously hosting the Elko Community Concerts in the newly constructed Elko High School Performing Arts Auditorium. This state-of-the-art venue has provided us with a remarkable platform to showcase our performances, allowing us to reach new heights of artistic excellence.
