Bakersfield Community Concert Association
History :
The Bakersfield Community Concert Association enjoys the honor of having the largest membership (close to 2000) of any cultural organization in our community.
Our Association had its first roots as the Kern County Musical Association, founded in 1920 by a group of prominent Bakersfield citizens dedicated to enhancing the cultural development of Bakersfield.
Supporters of the Kern County Musical Association included Dorothy M. Donahoe and Henrietta Weill.
In 1963, that group became affiliated with Community Concerts Association, New York City, which allowed our non-profit organization to present the highest quality of national and international attractions available, at a price affordable to all.
The original mission of quality artists and affordability remains, and today we are proud to be members of the Western Arts Alliance.
