Carson City's 36th Holiday Treat Concert happens this Sunday at Community Center
It's a Holiday Treat for all and a feast of seasonal and holiday entertainment in many styles. The Carson City Symphony and Carson Chamber Singers, joined by the Victorian Dancers, present the 36th annual Holiday Treat concert this Sunday, Dec. 15 at the Bob Boldrick Theater in the Carson City Community Center.
The concert begins at 4 p.m., with The Joyful Noise Carson Children’s Choir, directed by Michelle Powers, to perform at 3 p.m. in the lobby of the community center, 851 E. William Street.
Treat your whole family: tickets are $18 general admission; $15 for seniors, students, and Symphony Association members; and free age 18 and under. Tickets are available in advance at the Nevada Day Store, 716 N. Carson Street; online here at CCSymphony.com; and at the door.
The combined symphony and chorus will open the concert with Leroy Anderson’s familiar A Christmas Festival, and will join forces for the French carol, Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella; Home for the Holidays; and the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Messiah.
The Carson City Symphony, conducted by Music Director-Conductor David Bugli, will perform several works, including Silver Bells, Hanukkah Songs, The Christmas Song, and The Polar Express. The Carson Chamber Singers, directed by William Belcher, will sing O Holy Night, All Through the Night, Sing Gloria, and Grant Us Thy Peace.
The Victorian Dancers, choreographed by Tiffany Alm and directed by Toni VanCleave, will whirl and swirl to the sound of Johann Strauss Jr.’s Wiener Blut waltzes and perform J.P. Meder’s Hank Monk Schottische, a dance popular on the Comstock in Victorian times.
Recipients of the Rosemary Nebesky Scholarship for 2019 will be recognized at the concert. Performers and audience will join together for the traditional Holiday Treat finale, A Christmas Singalong.
