Carson Chamber Singers to perform in November in Reno and Virginia City.
Carson Chamber Singers, a 50-person chorus directed by Richard Hutton, will perform the a cappella work, All-Night Vigil, by Sergei Rachmaninoff in two venues: St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral (310 W. Second St., Reno) on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m., and St. Mary in the Mountains (111 E St., Virginia City) on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. The concert is 60 minutes without intermission.
Hutton said, “All-Night Vigil, commonly known as 'Vespers,' is a work that the singers are excited to perform. The chant-based music is gorgeous.”
General admission tickets are $15; discounted tickets for seniors (age 62 plus), students, and members of the Carson City Symphony Association are $12. Youth ages 18 and under are admitted free. Tickets are available online at CCSymphony.com, on Facebook.com/CarsonCitySymphony, and at the door.
Founded in 1985 as a performing group of the Carson City Symphony Association, the Carson Chamber Singers have sung at several venues in Northern Nevada and in California as far west as Sacramento.
They sang for the 99th National American Legion Convention in Reno in 2017, have sung with the Reno Philharmonic, and perform regularly with the Carson City Symphony, most recently on July 4 at the Genoa Americana Celebration.
Open to singers high-school age and above, the Carson Chamber Singers generally perform in five concerts each year. Participation is free.

Concerts are 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.
