More Information About MCCA:
On January 5, 1950, the Modesto Community Concert Association was organized to meet the demand for more cultural entertainment in the Modesto area. The concerts were operated under the Community Concert Service Division of Columbia Concerts, Inc.

The first membership campaign was held over a one-week period, beginning February 27th and ending March 4th, 1950. In six days over 1,300 subscriptions were sold and the membership drive was closed. Columbia Artists Management was contacted and four concerts were arranged for the first season.

The first concert was the Revelers Male Quartet on February 8, 1951. Completing the first season were concerts by Rudolph Firkusney, pianist; Tossy Spivakovsky, violinist; and Nadine Conner, soprano. Each season, at least three and up to six concerts have been offered, depending on availability of performers and funding raised through subscription sales.

For over 50 years Modesto Community Concert Association has brought to Modesto such talented artists as William Primrose, violinist; Claudio Arrau, pianist; Eileen Farrell, soprano; Boston Pops Tour Orchestra; Leon Fleisher, pianist; Joffrey Ballet; Victor Borge; Lili Krauss, pianist; The Roger Wagner Chorale, and many others.
