The Reno Chamber Orchestra is putting a local boy in the spotlight this weekend when Christopher Lin-Brande appears as a featured soloist.

Lin-Brande, a violinist, grew up in the Biggest Little City and attended Reno High School before leaving the area to study economics and pre-med at Yale University. He was also a regular fill-in player with the Chamber Orchestra and a contract player with the Reno Philharmonic while living here.

The Reno Chamber Orchestra has been bringing out-of-area soloists to Northern Nevada for most of its 35-year existence, but few have more impressive credentials than bassist Edgar Meyer, who will be featured with the group Saturday and Sunday.

“He certainly is one of the greatest soloists that we will ever play with,” said Scott Faulkner, executive director and bassist with the Chamber Orchestra. “Both in terms of notoriety and just ability, he certainly is at the top of the pile, right up there with the best that have ever played with us. That’s not an overstatement at all.”

Faulkner became one of Meyer’s admirers when he was just a young player studying bass in college.

“I remember the first time that I heard a recording of him,” Faulkner said. “I was like, ‘Oh, my word.’ I couldn’t believe it.”
