Carson City Symphony was founded in 1984 as the
Carson City Chamber Orchestra and gave its first concert in October that
year. It is a community orchestra
open to amateur and volunteer professional musicians.
Members come from all walks of life and have ranged from elementary school
students to senior citizens.
The Symphony performs five or more concerts each year for
audiences in Carson City.
It also
has performed in Minden, Gardnerville, Fallon, South Lake Tahoe, and Virginia
City. We play many works by contemporary composers and have commissioned and
premiered several pieces.

Rimsky-Korsakov Events for March 27 & 28, 2020,
have been
postponed until fall (possibly November) due to
delayed visa processing, not on account of the Coronavirus.
Posted: March 25, 2020
The Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet from St. Petersburg, Russia, visited Carson City
last spring and presented concerts, a house recital, and a masterclass to
large and enthusiastic audiences. The group had intended to return to Carson City in March,
but encountered problems with obtaining visas. Subsequently, the Coronavirus update
prevented them from completing their Canadian portion of their North American spring tour.
Our current plans are to have them return in the fall (maybe November), but those plans are tentative.
Go to our "Past Seasons and Past Events" page to see
what we intended the quartet to do this spring.
