SUMMARY:Be the Boss of Your Financial Future with Beth Burns
DESCRIPTION:Are you in control of your money\, or is it controlling you? \nWe’re thrilled to welcome back Beth Burns for another empowering seminar focused on building smarter habits\, thinking strategically\, and taking real ownership of your financial future. \nSaving asks for delayed gratification. Spending satisfies the now. Mastering your financial future is about striking the right balance between spending and saving\, and making choices that serve both your present and your long-term vision. \nBeing a boss starts with understanding the flow of your finances. How you spend\, save\, and plan directly shapes your outcomes. Spending behaviors aren’t random—they should be intentional\, strategic\, and aligned with clearly defined goals. \nOpen to all ages; it’s never too early or too late to take control of your financial future.

SUMMARY:Ancient Echoes: Baroque & Modern Resonance
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Echoes: Baroque & Modern Resonance brings Baroque elegance into vibrant conversation with contemporary sound worlds. Guided by Artistic Director Alexandria Le in collaboration with Jonathan Rhodes\, Director of UNLV’s Early Music Ensemble\, and Jennifer Bellor\, Director of UNLV’s NEXTET\, this intimate concert pairs the ornamentation and expressive clarity of early music with striking modern works by living composers. \nFeaturing both period and modern instruments—including harpsichord (the piano’s precursor)\, viola da gamba (cello’s ancestor)\, Baroque oboe and soprano alongside saxophone\, clarinet and vibraphone—the program reflects\, refracts\, and reinterprets early musical forms. \nJust as Rita Deanin Abbey drew upon traditional techniques while continually evolving and modernizing her artistic language\, this program bridges centuries—honoring early forms while reimagining them through a contemporary lens. \n\nArtists include:\nJonathan Lee Rhodes\, harpsichord\nAna Angel Ortiz\, Baroque soprano\nRichard Kravchak\, Baroque oboe\nKa-Wai Yu\, Baroque viola de gamba\nBryan Conger\, clarinet\nMegan Kearny\, saxophone\nRyan Bond\, vibraphone \nCapacity is limited to 75 seats\, creating an intimate encounter across centuries of music.

SUMMARY:Desert Opus – An American Soundscape: 20th-Century Strings
DESCRIPTION:The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum is pleased to welcome back Desert Opus to present An American Soundscape: 20th-Century Strings. \nThis concert experience traces the emergence of a distinctly American musical language through one of chamber music’s most intimate forms. The program begins with Antonín Dvořák’s iconic “American” Quartet\, composed during his time in the United States and infused with the rhythms\, melodies\, and spirit he encountered in American musical traditions. From this foundation\, the concert follows the shift from European Romanticism toward a new national sound\, highlighting works by George Gershwin and Aaron Copland. Drawing on jazz\, folk influences\, and modern harmonic language\, these composers capture the breadth\, innovation\, and cultural diversity that shaped American music in the 20th century. Together\, the program offers a rich and immersive listening experience that reflects the evolution of America’s musical identity—both rooted in tradition and boldly forward-looking. \nViolist Arturo Hernández Gómez  \nArturo Hernandez is a professional musician residing in Las Vegas\, NV. Arturo plays violin\, viola\, and mandolin in styles ranging from classical\, to pop\, to folk and jazz. Arturo is also a professional music arranger. Alongside performing and arranging\, Arturo has been teaching music for over ten years in the valley in both group class and private class settings. Some professional credits and affiliations include Andrea Bocelli\, the Latin Grammys\, the Latin Billboard Awards\, Annex Quartet\, and the Las Vegas Young Artists Orchestra\, as well as playing in the pit orchestra for local musical theatre productions. \nViolinist James Anderson \nA Fort Collins\, Colorado native and violinist since age five\, James is at home in several musical arenas – including classical\, jazz\, tango\, bluegrass/old time\, and more – and has appeared on over 40 recordings. James has been featured in concert halls around the globe\, he has collaborated with such artists as Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam\, Marcia Ball\, Fyfe Dangerfield\, Carolyn Wonderland\, and more! James is currently based in fabulous Las Vegas\, Nevada and is an in-demand violinist and teacher on the vibrant music scene. \nCellist Kimberley Kistler \nKimberley Kistler is a versatile cellist\, singer\, and recording artist known for her engaging performances and ability to adapt across a variety of musical genres. Originally from California and now based in Las Vegas\, she has built a career that bridges classical\, contemporary\, and crossover styles. Whether performing solo or with ensembles\, Kimberley brings her unique artistry and technical excellence to every project. \nViolinist Scott Jackson  \nScott Jackson is a concert violinist that has performed with symphonies across the nation\, including the St. Louis and Pittsburgh Symphonies. He was a fellow with the New World Symphony after completing his doctoral studies at the Cincinnati Conservatory from 2018 until 2022\, during which time his modern music ensemble\, All of the Above\, released an album to critical acclaim featuring the music of two contemporary composers with the title “Double Portrait”. In 2022\, Scott moved to Las Vegas to be a member of the string section for Adele’s newly established residency. The Sphinx Virtuosi\, a 16-person chamber orchestra which Scott continues to tour with\, recently had their debut performance abroad in San Paolo\, Brazil and went on to record a critically acclaimed album – Songs for Our Times – in 2023. \nA reception will follow the performance\, with soft beverages served. \nAges 12+

SUMMARY:Exhibition Reception: Selections from the Vault
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT! Missed the opening? Exhibitions are still on view—book your visit today. \nSelections from the Vault offers a rare glimpse into the depth\, experimentation\, and evolution of Rita Deanin Abbey’s (1930-2021) artistic practice. This noteworthy selection brings together more than 20 rarely seen works spanning five distinct series—many exhibited publicly for the first time in nearly sixty years. \nHighlights include the atmospheric Desert Space Series (1977–1979)\, inspired by the forces of the desert landscape\, and the intimate Rivertrip Series (1971–1977)\, created during a six-day rafting journey through Cataract Canyon and displayed in the artist’s home since 1985. \nThe selection also features newly revealed works from the Black Art Series (1967–1969)\, unseen since 1968. In these works\, Abbey combined black paint with materials such as fiberglass\, resin\, wood\, acrylic sheets\, and polyurethane foam\, using texture and light to activate form. As Abbey noted\, black acts as a unifying force—its interaction with light revealing shifting contours and meaning. \nAdditional works include Abbey’s formative drawings from the model\, produced during her studies with Hans Hofmann in the early 1950s\, which reveal the development of her approach to color\, space\, and structure. \nFinally\, bold\, colorful abstract paintings from the Still Life Series further illuminate her mid-1950s explorations of the fundamental elements that would shape her lifelong artistic vision. \nJoin us to explore Rita Deanin Abbey’s remarkable artistic journey and celebrate at the FREE opening reception on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, from 12–3pm. Soft beverages will be provided. Advanced reservations are strongly encouraged.
