Carson City Symphony to present ‘Pleasures of Music’ Friday

The Carson City Symphony Association will present a concert, "Pleasures of Music," at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Shepherd of the Sierra Lutheran Church in Carson City.

Consort Canzona, an early music ensemble featuring soprano, alto, tenor, and bass recorders, will perform the first part of the program. They will play old favorites, madrigals, dances, and more.

Not Quite Ready for Carnegie Hall Players, an adult intermediate string ensemble conducted by Micah Dunn, will play classical and traditional selections. The two groups will combine for the final piece.

This concert is a tribute to the memory of Jane Johnson, who was long associated with the Carson City Symphony. She was a member of the Carson Chamber Singers beginning in 1986, played cello with the symphony starting in 2001, and was a founding member of Consort Canzona.

The concert is a Mark Twain Days event. Admission is free; donations are welcome.
