Carson City Symphony’s Summer 'Rhythm & Strings' program begins Thursday
Carson City Symphony Association’s “Strings in the Summer 2024 - Rhythm & Strings” is a weekly program for string-instrument players of all ages and levels. It meets on Thursdays, from June 20 to August 1 (except July 4), from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. in the Tahoe Room at the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive.
Symphony Education Director Micah Dunn will lead participants in a new activity each week. The program is designed to include younger students and violinists, violists, and cellists of any age who are able to play a one-octave D major scale and read notes within the staff. More experienced players are welcome to join.
Also this summer, Not Quite Ready for Carnegie Hall Players (NQR) for advanced beginner and intermediate strings will continue on Thursdays, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Joshua Tree Room at the Senior Center. This year-round, coached ensemble plays orchestra tunes arranged for violin, viola, cello, and bass.
Registration and tuition for both groups are free, donations welcome. A public concert will be held at the end of the session. For more information and to register, contact Micah Dunn, at 775-741-6544 or email micahdunn@gmail.com.
