Carson City Symphony's 'Strings in the Summer' concert July 31
The Carson City Symphony's "Strings in the Summer" orchestra and beginning fiddle class, directed by Sue Jesch, will present its Summer String Concert of traditional American fiddle tunes on Thursday, July 31, at 10 a.m. at Sierra Place Senior Living, 1111 West College Parkway, Carson City. The concert is free and is open to the public.
Over 30 performers ranging in age from 8 to senior citizens will be performing on violin, viola and cello. "Strings in the Summer" is part of Carson City Symphony's "Strings in the Schools" program, which is supported with public funding through the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, grants from Partnership Carson City, and private donations.
The summer program is for string players of all ages. Instruction, which takes place at Carson Mall, is provided for six weeks during the summer by Carson City Symphony Education Director Sue Jesch. Students attending on Mondays take classes in "Introduction to Fiddle and Folk Music," a program designed primarily for younger students, and for violinist and violists of any age who have limited experience. Tuesday classes cover "Melodies, Harmonies, and Improvisations," and are designed for advanced beginner to intermediate violinists and violists. On Thursdays there is a String Ensemble, for advanced beginner to intermediate players and involves fun tunes for orchestra.
