It's a Holiday Treat for all — a feast of seasonal and holiday entertainment in many styles! The Annual Holiday Treat Concert will return this year on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2023.
The Carson City Symphony, conducted by Music Director David Bugli and Assistant Director Brian Fox, will be joined by the Carson Chamber Singers, conducted by Choral Director Gary Schwartz, and the Victorian Dancers, choreographed by Tiffany Alm.
Showtime is at 4 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William Street.
The combined symphony and chorus will open the concert with Leroy Anderson's familiar A Christmas Festival. A special treat is the symphony's performance of Angela Morley's "Snow Ride" accompanied by Carol Grenier's images of snow and snow riders. The dancers will swirl and twirl to the music of Johann Strauss Jr.'s "Voices of Spring" waltz and Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride."
The Symphony Youth Chorus, Director Michelle Powers, will entertain concert-goers at 3 p.m. in the lobby, and will join all the performers and audience for the traditional sing-along finale.
Tickets are $18 general admission; $15 for seniors, students, and Symphony Association members; and free for youth age 18 and under. Tickets are on sale online at CCSymphony.com or at the door. Blood donors at Vitalant's Carson City Donor Center from Dec. 2 through Dec. 9 may receive a complimentary ticket to the concert.
Carson City Symphony is a community orchestra of about 55 players who perform music from the 15th to the 21st centuries in six concerts each year. The Carson Chamber Singers, perform three or more concerts with the Symphony and additional independent concert programs each year.
The 2023-24 concert season is supported with public funding through the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, Carson City Cultural Commission, Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by private donations.
