Carson City Symphony and Chorus to perform at the Genoa Americana Celebration July 4
Celebrate Independence Day with the Carson City Symphony, Carson City Symphony Chorus, and guest singer CeCe Gable at Mormon Station State Park in Genoa. Parade, festivities, five bands, games, old-time jams, chicken dinners, raffles, and more begin at 10 a.m.
The Symphony concert begins at 4:30 p.m., following the color guard, with a beautiful choral arrangement of the National Anthem. The concert in Genoa will include some favorite highlights from the Symphony’s award-winning Pops Party concert, selected 2017 Best Annual Event by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce at their awards dinner on June 20. The Pops Party concert has been held each year at the Governor’s Mansion since 1984.
The Symphony, directed by David Bugli, and the Chorus, directed by Michael Langham, will perform pops music, music from musicals, films, and marches. They’ll join together for the traditional Battle Hymn of the Republic, the Armed Forces Salute honoring service members and veterans, and music from Oklahoma! and The Lion King. A raffle will be held; the winner gets to conduct the Symphony in a march by John Philip Sousa.
CeCe Gable, a jazz cabaret performer and recording artist, has sung in jazz clubs throughout the United States and Europe. She will sing arrangements of Midnight Sun and Little Girl Blue with the orchestra.
The audience is invited to bring low backed chairs and blankets to this free family festival. For more information about the schedule for the day, see genoaamericanacelebration.org.
