Civic Symphony Christmas Concert Pleases Las Vegas Audience
The Las Vegas Recreation Department Civic Symphony Orchestra presented a 40 member program led by William Gromko. The concert opened with Tchaikovsky Capriccio Italien and closed with Stravinsky Firebird Suite Danse Infernale. The Nutcracker Suite delighted with motifs from Arab to Chinese while Buxtehude in Chaconne in E Minor drew critique for flat delivery. The Reed Whipple hall’s design affected acoustics, yet the mix of veterans and new players pleased the audience as the orchestra begins its third season.
