'Music For Life' concert April 26 at Carson City Community Center
Carson City Symphony's Youth Strings ensembles and Not Quite Ready For Carnegie Hall Players adult intermediate string ensemble will perform a "Music is for Life (goes to the movies)" concert on Thursday, April 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center, located at 851 East William Street in Carson City.
The concert will present themes from movies including James Bond, The Sound of Music, Spartacus, and To Kill a Mockingbird. Admission is free.
The concert will feature performances by students from second grade through high school, including beginning violins and cellos; the Allegro, Vivace, and STRAZZ youth strings ensembles; the adult ensemble; and special guests.
Symphony Youth Strings is Carson City Symphony Association's tuition-free, after-school program for young string players. The Symphony’s Not Quite Ready for Carnegie Hall Players is open to all adult intermediate-level string players.
Both programs were founded in 2005 by Education Director Sue Jesch. Laura Gibson is violin and ensemble instructor; Lou Groffman is STRAZZ and cello instructor. About 75 students currently participate. The programs are supported, in part, by public funds through grants from the Nevada Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts, and by private donations.
