Consort Canzona Presents a Pair of Concerts
"Something Old, Something New"
Friday, December 6, 2019
Saturday, December 7, 2019
Consort Canzona, a select group of instrumentalists and singers specializing in early music,

3680 Highway 395 (just south of Best Buy) in Carson City. Admission is free, donations welcome.
The program is a celebration of early Christmas music with a modern twist. It features vocal
and instrumental music from the 13th century, and modern arrangements of early carols. The singers
and instrumental musicians (recorders, cello, and harpsichord) will play separately and join together
for Ein Kindelein so Löbelich by Hieronymus Praetorius, and a modern setting by John Rutter of a
16th century poem, What Sweeter Music. Gale Kehres will be featured on recorder in
O Come O Come Emmanuel with Jane Giovacchini on cello.
Carson City musician, the late Sharon Kientz, founded Consort Canzona as an instrumental
ensemble in 2009, and singers were added in 2011. The ensemble affiliated as a performing
group of the Carson City Symphony Association in 2014 under the direction of Gary Schwartz.
Consort Canzona is supported in part by a grant to the Carson City Symphony Association from
the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal
agency, and by Association memberships and donations. For more information, see CCSymphony.com

STRAZZ To Do Two Performances on
Saturday, December 7, 2019
STRAZZ, the Symphony Youth Strings advanced group, will be doing a pair of performances on
Saturday, December 7, 2019, in and around Carson City.
The first performance will be from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m. at the "Empty Bowls Project" event at Carson Mall.
This is a benefit for FISH (Friends in Service Helping) to help feed people in need.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine
Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others
donate & work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple
meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a
reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization
working to end hunger and food insecurity. Empty Bowls is the largest hunger-relief organization
in the United States, Feeding America reports that the nation's food banks could soon be
overwhelmed by demand. Statistics show that 1 out of 8 Americans struggle with food insecurity
every day. For more information about Empty Bowls Project, check the Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/EmptyBowlsCarsonCity.
The second STRAZZ performance will be from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. at Trader Joe's on/near Topsy
Lane. This is an annual opportunity for STRAZZ to share some cheer with holiday shoppers.
