Strings in Schools 'Spring Fling' concert set for April 20 at Carson City Community Center
Carson City Symphony's Strings in the Schools ensembles, conducted by Laura Gibson and guest conductor Dr. Brian Fox, will present a "Spring Fling" concert on Thursday, April 20, 6:30 p.m., at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William Street.
The concert will include fiddle, folk, and classical music. Highlights are music from Star Wars, Steven Rosenhaus’ Cinematic Escapades, and STRAZZ Variations by Strings in the Schools violist Nick Rosen. Admission is free.
The concert will feature performances by students from grade 2 through high school, including beginning violins and cellos, the intermediate String Ensemble, Pizzazz, and STRAZZ. The program includes familiar works and some surprises. David Bugli, conductor of the Carson City Symphony, said, "These students are an inspiration to the community."
Strings in the Schools, now in its 12th year, is Carson City Symphony Association's tuition-free, after-school program for young string players, founded by Education Director Sue Jesch.
About 100 students currently participate. The program is supported, in part, by public funds through grants from the Nevada Arts Council, Partnership Carson City, Terry Lee Wells Foundation, Soroptimist International of Carson City, and by private donations.
