"Pleasures of Music" Concert
The Carson City Symphony Association will present a concert, "Pleasures of Music," on Friday, May 10, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. at Shepherd of the Sierra Lutheran Church. The concert is a Mark Twain Days event. Admission is free; donations are welcome.
Consort Canzona, an early music ensemble featuring soprano, alto, tenor, and bass recorders, will perform the first part of the program. They will play old favorites, madrigals, dances, and more. Not Quite Ready for Carnegie Hall Players (NQR), an adult intermediate string ensemble conducted by Micah Dunn, will play classical and traditional selections. The two groups will combine for the final piece.
This concert is a tribute to the memory of Jane Johnson, who was long associated with the Carson City Symphony. She was a member of the Carson Chamber Singers beginning in 1986, played cello with the Symphony starting in 2001, and was a founding member of Consort Canzona.
Carson City Symphony Association's 2023-24 concerts and educational activities are supported with public funding through the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and Carson City Cultural Commission, and by private donations.
