Community Concert organizations were created in the 1930s, as smaller communities worked to bring musicians and entertainers to towns of all sizes, not just big cities.
The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has been doing that very thing for 93 years. Board member John Haack says because the group is all-volunteer, they can keep ticket costs low.
The 2023-24 concert season includes tributes to The Beatles, The Carpenters, classic folk, legendary Divas, and will even feature high school jazz bands with KCCK’s Corridor Jazz Project.
Ticket prices increase July 1. Get yours at www.crcommunityconcert.org.
