The 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 in age
from middle 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.
The Symphony
plays many works by contemporary composers and has commissioned and premiered
several pieces. In 1991, the
Symphony received a community award from the Carson City Chamber of Commerce
for outstanding volunteer services.
In 1999, it was selected as Nevada's Continental Harmony organization by the American Composers Forum and the
National Endowment for the Arts.
The Symphony Assoc. was named Organization of the Year 2004 by the

Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
