Instructor Suzanne McGarraugh leads "Strings in the Summer" program.
Carson City Symphony Association's "Strings in the Summer" program directed by Suzanne McGarraugh will present a concert on Friday, August 4, at 12 p.m. at St. Paul's Lutheran Family Church, 1201 N. Saliman Rd. Players of all ages, from elementary school students to senior citizens, attended "Adventures in Rhythm" and "Alternative Syles" this summer. They also had a percussion workshop with Brandon Dodge, and a Celtic music workshop with Kat MacMartin.
The concert features performers on various percussion and string instruments playing familiar and new tunes that demonstrate techniques learned this summer. Music includes Daydreams, Drum Circle, Salty Dog, Devil's Dream, and more. Admission is free, donations welcome.
Carson City Symphony Association's educational programs are funded, in part, by grants from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; and by private donations.
