ABOUT MCCCA

The Mid-Columbia Community Concert Association (MCCCA) is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization which has brought outstanding, on-stage entertainment to the Mid-Columbia area since the 1930’s. MCCCA is one of approximately 400 other community concert associations in the country. Our mission is two-fold: to bring artists and audiences together at affordable prices and to provide educational outreach programs to students in the five counties we serve. We also provide outreach performances to local senior facilities.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

With help from our Crescendo patrons, Mid-Columbia Community Concert Association's student outreach program brings live, interactive musical performances to engage, enrich, educate, and inspire K-12 students in the Columbia Gorge area. Students are exposed to a variety of musical genres, instruments, and cultures and have the opportunity to ask questions of the artists during the assemblies.

Stephanie Trick and Paolo Alderighi performed for The Springs Assisted Living and St. Mary's Academy

Tray Dahl performed for a group of residents at an assisted living facility in The Dalles

VOLUNTEERS

MCCCA's board members plus volunteers work tirelessly to present quality live entertainment. They assist at concerts and behind the scenes throughout the year. They handle everything from subscriptions, bookings, marketing, advertising, operations, hospitality, and much more. It would not be possible to keep ticket prices so affordable without our team of dedicated volunteers.
