Carson City Symphony's Strings in Schools features 'This is Not a Christmas Concert' Dec. 1
Strings in the Schools, Carson City Symphony's after-school program, presents its sixth annual "This is Not a Christmas Concert" on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 6:30 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center.
Nearly 100 string players, including Carson City public-, private-, and home-schooled students, and students from surrounding areas, will perform several pieces, from classics to folk and fiddle tunes, including Baroque music by Georg Philipp Telemann, "Norwegian Wood" by the Beatles, "Take the 'A' Train" by Billy Strayhorn, and more. Admission is free. The community center is at 851 E. William St., Carson City.
The concert, directed by Carson City Symphony's Education Director, Sue Jesch, features beginning violins in grades two to five; beginning cellos; a youth string ensemble; Pizzazz intermediate ensemble; and STRAZZ, advanced jazz and fiddle orchestra.
"These young musicians play to enthusiastic crowds," said David Bugli, Music Director of the Carson City Symphony. "You will be entertained and impressed with how well they play such a great variety of musical styles."
Strings in the Schools, an educational program of the Carson City Symphony Association, was founded in 2005. It is supported in part by grants from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts; Partnership Carson City; The Terry Lee Wells Foundation; Soroptimist International of Carson City, and private donations.
