The Carson Valley Sinfonia, sponsored by Friends of the Carson Valley Youth Orchestra and the Carson Valley Violin School will present its annual winter concert on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 4 p.m. in Minden's CVIC Hall. The performance is open to the public without charge.
The program will feature premier performances of conductor John O'Neill's "Carson Valley Hoe-down" and "American Pioneer Suite" and the first movement of Mozart's "Concerto No. 3 in G Major," for violin in a performance by Brian Jaggard, one of the school's advanced violinists. Also programmed are a movement from Mozart's French horn concerto in a string orchestra arrangement by Gerald Doan and Percy Hall's theme on a Scottish folk melody, "Saline." The concert will conclude with O'Neill's "Carols of Olde," a 1997 Belwin-Mills publication.
The Carson Valley Violin School was founded in 1992 with the help of a grant from the Carol-Franc Buck Foundation, the Douglas County Parks & Recreation Department and the Douglas County School District. The school offers lessons on orchestral string instruments to students of all ages. For information on the concert or school, 267-3495.
