The Carson City Symphony, conducted by Music Director David Bugli and Assistant Conductor Brian Fox, will perform a “Mountain Majesties” concert on Sunday, April 27, at 4:00 p.m., at the Carson City Community Center’s Bob Boldrick Theater, 851 E. William Street in Carson City.
The program open with Mendelssohn’s the Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave) and Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King.
Guests Salzburger Echo alphorns are featured in three pieces corresponding to a mountain view, climbing a mountain, and the world premiere of Steven Rosenhaus’s Other Side of the Mountain.
David Bugli, conductor, said, “This is an opportunity to see and hear these graceful, 12-foot-long instruments play music redolent of the Swiss mountains.”
The concert also includes Ruby Mountain Reflections, Rocky Mountain Majesty (with photo images of the Rockies by Principal Flute Carol Grenier), and A Night on Bald Mountain.
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 and at the door. “Flex” tickets at discounted prices are also available online.
