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.

Description
The goal of this project is to produce a virtual video recording of the Carson Chamber Singers performing Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck's "Hodie Christus natus est" with brass quintet. Sweelinck (pronounced "SWAY-link") was a Dutch organist, composer, and pedagogue who lived from 1562 to 1621. His musical style reflects the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Baroque era. In addition to being a choral composer, he was a major influence on the development of the north German keyboard (organ) style. His fame was such that he was the only non-English composer whose works appeared in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, a highly influential volume among keyboard publications.

More details can be found in the "Project Description," when it is written.
