Ring in the New Year with a Concert like in Vienna or New York, but Right Here in Genoa
Celebrate New Year's early with TOCCATA: Tahoe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus's new cnocert: "Bring on the Bubbly/Adios 2019." Join us at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 29 in the elegant Genoa Lakes Golf Club Ballroom. Pre-concert champagne and hors d'oeuvres at 3 p.m.
Can’t make it to Vienna or New York? Our Genoa concert has more dancing, more singing, more everything: Genoa is about to become the go-to venue for a New Year — themed concert! Not only do we have the traditional Strauss waltzes: we’ve got a tango and a polka, so bring your dancing shoes! (Oh, and you won’t want to miss “Tales from the Genoa Woods,” conducted by the winner of our baton auction!) You’ll go on a “Sleigh Ride” with Leroy Anderson and a wild horseback ride with “William Tell.” We bring you a “Trumpeter’s Lullaby” (by Anderson), love songs and battle cries from “Oklahoma” and “Man of La Mancha,” plus “Carmen,” the “Waltz of the Flowers” and more!
To let you rest between dances, you’ll hear Broadway tunes and opera arias from our beloved regulars, including Stuart Duke, baritone; Liudmila Mullin, mezzo soprano, Anne Davidson, soprano, and Robert Bousquet, tenor. For a special treat, guest artist and professional opera singer Jamie Bonetto joins us for an aria by Offenbach. And since we’re celebrating New Year’s Eve, we close the concert with the rollicking ensemble number from Verdi’s La Traviata, “Let’s drink from the joyful cups!”
