Strings in the Schools, Carson City Symphony's after-school music program, will present a free concert on tonight at 7 p.m. at Empire Ranch Golf Course, 1875 Fair Way, Carson City.
About 80 string players, including Carson City public-, private-, and home-schooled students, will perform several pieces from classics to folk and fiddle tunes.
The Spring Concert, directed by Sue Kitts, features beginning violins in grades two through five, a pre-orchestra violin ensemble, and the youth orchestra for more advanced students of all ages and adult mentors.
"The young string musicians played to an enthusiastic crowd in November," David Bugli, music director of the Carson City Symphony, who will play tuba with the group, said. "People will be impressed at the great strides they have made since then."
