Classical Music-Ten years ago on July 4th, 1998, the Las Vegas Philharmonic launched its classical music presence-adding a unique cultural dimension to the city. Since then, a variety of venues and events have showcased the Las Vegas Philharmonic’s versatility and virtuosity: performing for the openings of the high-end Bellagio and Venetian resorts; premiering “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” with guest conductor John Williams at a private party hosted by 20th Century Fox held at Bally’s casino; and playing for two series of musical performances at Fashion Show Mall sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue.
