The Joyful Noise Carson Children’s Choir of the Carson City Symphony Association will begin a Spring Mini-Session on May 5 from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m., at the Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall, 511 W. King St. Joyful Noise Carson Children’s Choir, led by Michelle Powers, welcomes children ages 4 to 12. The Spring Mini-Session includes three one-hour rehearsals May 5, 12, and 19. Everyone will wear masks and observe social distance. Space is limited and pre-registration is necessary. “We will learn at least one fun song and then record for viewing. Each rehearsal will develop students’ musical skills, strong singing voices, and joy in music as they prepare for the recording. I'm so excited about beginning a new program of singing and playing, creating music, and making new friends,” Powers said. Tuition for the semester is free. Parents are encouraged to join the Carson City Symphony Association to help offset the cost of music, supplies, insurance, instructor’s stipend, and more. Joyful Noise Carson Children’s Choir, an educational program of the Carson City Symphony Association, was founded by Nancy Jones in 2017 and has been directed by Michelle Powers since fall of 2019. It is supported in part by public funds through a grant from the Nevada Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts and by private donations.
