Holiday treat concert returns to Carson City on Dec. 10

The annual holiday treat concert will be held Sunday, Dec. 10 at 4 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William St.

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.

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 Anderson's "Sleigh Ride."

Symphony Youth Chorus director Michelle Powers will entertain concertgoers at 3 p.m. in the lobby and will join the performers and audience for the traditional sing-along finale.

Tickets are $18 for general admission; $15 for seniors, students, and members; and free for youth 18 and under. Tickets are on sale online at www.CCSymphony.com or at the door.
