Pops concert fills the air of downtown Carson City with music
The soothing melody of classical music wafted through the air of downtown Carson City tonight, courtesy of the Carson City Symphony hosting its 34th annual Pops Party concert at the Capital Amphitheater on the grounds of the Nevada Capitol complex.
The concert featured symphony music, as well as vocals from the Carson City Symphony Chorus and guest singer Cherie Shipley.
Directed by David Bugli, the Symphony and Chorus performed pops music, music from musicals, films, and marches. Guest Conductor Carlos Rafael also led the Symphony in selections from Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story.
Shipley is lead singer in the Take This jazz combo and the Sagebrush Rebels country-western band.
The free public concert was funded, in part, by the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
