North America: A Choral Tapestry at Shepherd of the Sierra
The Carson Chamber Singers, under the direction of Dr. Gary Schwartz, continues its 40th season with a pair of "North America: A Choral Tapestry" concerts on Friday, April 25, and Saturday, April 26, 2025. These concerts celebrate music by composers from the United States and Canada, including Andrew Balfour, William Billings, Aaron Copland, Kinley Lange, Morten Lauridsen, Stephen Paulus, and Shulamit Ran.
Founded in 1985 as a performing group of the Carson City Symphony Association, the Carson Chamber Singers is open to singers high-school age and above. They perform in five or more concerts each year. They have sung with the Reno Philharmonic and sing regularly with the Carson City Symphony and have performed at several venues in northern Nevada and as far west as Sacramento.
Carson City Symphony Association concerts are supported in part by public funds through grants from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, from Carson City, and by private donations.
