Carson City Symphony’s 'Strings in the Summer' program begins July 8
Carson City Symphony Association’s “Strings in the Summer,” a free program for string-instrument players of all ages, will begin on Monday morning, July 8, 2019. Laura Gibson, Associate Concertmaster of Carson City Symphony, is the instructor and conductor. Registration and tuition are free, donations welcome.
The program includes two sessions of morning classes for three consecutive days, followed by a performance by both groups on the fourth day. Classes will be at St. Paul’s Lutheran Family Church, 1201 N. Saliman Road in Carson City. The performance on Thursday, July 11, will be at Carson Mall, 1313 S. Carson Street, at 10:00 a.m.
The early session, Introduction to Fiddle and Folk Music, meets from 9:00 to 10:00 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 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.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.
