Los Gatos Community Concert Association Musical Series
The Los Gatos Community Concert Association is about to begin its 69th season, again bringing delightful music to our town from fall through spring. “A first class concert series at affordable prices” is the goal, and by all accounts it is consistently successful at it. The first concert debuts on Sept 23rd and tickets for the series are open to the public for purchase. Tickets are on sale as a season pass covering all four shows and cannot be bought individually for each concert except when there is availability at the door and online shortly before the event.
What’s on the agenda for this season?
Ilya Yakushev, pianist – September 23, 2018
Five Sax, saxophone quintet – November 4, 2018
Frisson Ensemble. six-piece chamber orchestra – January 20, 2019

All performances are at Los Gatos High School. For more info on musicians, times, ticket pricing, discounts for seniors and students, as well as subscription pricing, please see the LGCCA website.

These lists do not include religious services, so please check your preferred place of prayer for those schedules.
