Carson City Symphony’s Strings in the Summer program begins July 26
Carson City Symphony Association announces “Strings in the Summer,” a free 4-week program for string-instrument players of all ages, will begin on Thursday morning, July 26, 2018. Laura Gibson, Associate Concertmaster of Carson City Symphony, is the instructor. Registration and tuition are free, donations welcome.
The early session, Introduction to Fiddle and Folk Music, meets from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. It is designed primarily for younger students, and for violinists, violists and cellists of any age who have limited experience. Participants must be able to play a one-octave D scale and read notes within the staff.
The later session, String Ensemble, meets from 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. It is for advanced beginner to intermediate players of all ages. The ensemble will play arrangements of fun orchestra tunes arranged for violin, viola, cello, and bass.
All classes are held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Family Church, 1201 N. Saliman Road in Carson City. At the end of the 4-week program, an informal performance will be held on Friday, August 17, at noon at the Carson Mall.
