Bachelors of Broadway
November 17, 2024 3:00 PM
Performed by three of New York City's top theatrical performers, Bachelors of Broadway offers soaring and thrilling melodies in contemporary three part vocal harmony. This show breathes new life into vintage classics from the Golden Age of Broadway with lush symphonic arrangements of songs from both contemporary and classic musicals, including Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, and more!
MusiKaravan
February 1, 2025 7:00 PM
Often referred to as a fun, imaginative "musical picnic," MusiKaravan was developed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic's closing of music venues. Violinist Etienne Gara and YuEun Kim took to the road on a 6-month trup in their 1971 VW bus to bring music to farmers, winemakers, and random passerby to celebrate and thank the people who were "working hard to feed us physically and emotionally." Alongside cellist Stella Cho, MusiKaravan presents classical favorites in inviting ways.
Angela Wolcott in "Grit and Grace"
March 9, 2025 3:00 PM
This musical celebration of the most acclaimed female songwriters of our time is a feast for your ears! Angela shares her admiration for such artists as Dorothy Fields, Betty Comden, Carole King and more. Come for this hits, the melodies and lyrics, the stories, the heart and the grit and grace.
Acoustic Eidolon
April 13, 2025 3:00 PM
Acoustic Eidolon brings a unique sound that is both new and nostaligic. Performed by professionally trained musicians Hannah Alkire and Joe Scott, this show has been described as "genre-bending," drawing influences from Celtic, Americana, Folk and Flamenco. Their repertoire features stunning renditions of popular songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody,""Hallelujah,""Stairway to Heaven," and so much more!
ABOUT US
Lodi Community Concert Association is a non-profit, all volunteer managed organization dedicated to presenting the best of the performing arts to the residents of the San Joaquin Valley and surrounding areas. We believe that live concerts are an essential part of any community's culture landscape, even more so when economic conditions are difficult. We hope you will join Lodi Community Concert Association and enjoy these beautiful concerts with us!
The Lodi Community Concert Association began providing live performances in 1946 on the stage of the Lodi High School Auditorium. We are proud of the 78 years of quality performances that have been brought to Lodi with the continued support of the community.
The Association's goal has been, since that first concert in 1946, to promote cultural arts by planning, organizing, and promoting concerts providing a means for community members to attend local music concerts. Throughout the years, concerts have featured not only professional musicians brought in through talent agencies, but also local area musicians to perform for the Lodi and surrounding area citizens.
The Lodi Community Concert Association is committed to providing concerts to local school children. The funds raised through the Association's ticket sales and donations provide the revenue to sponsor these concerts. The Association pays for the performer, the venue, and the transportation needs to bring 800 students to watch a live performance each year. For many of these 4th-6th grade children, it is their first time at a live performance in a concert setting. We also award a deserving high school graduate the $1,000.00 Richard Irizary Performing Arts Scholarship to apply toward higher education.
