Concert season to end with jazz band’s performance

Share

Ramona Concert Association’s last concert of the 2015-16 season will showcase the Coastal Cities Jazz Band on Saturday, April 9.

Directed by Gary Adcock, the 17-piece group performs music ranging from popular tunes of the 1930s to present day.

With a reputation of being one of the finest big bands in Southern California, the group features a number of professional musicians who have performed with the top big bands of the ‘40s and ‘50s. The band has presented concerts in Orange County, Yuma, Ariz., and the San Diego area since 1997.

A “Salute to the Big Band Era” will be the theme of the Ramona concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Charles R. Nunn Performing Arts Center at Olive Peirce Middle School, 1520 Hanson Lane. Doors will open at 7 for seating.

Tickets at the door are $15 for adults and $5 for children and students. Concert association members will be admitted with their season tickets.

Because this is the last program of the season, membership tickets for the 2016-17 Season will be available. All membership tickets include the five upcoming concerts. Admission to Saturday’s concert will be included for those who purchase their 2016-17 membership tickets that evening.

“So that means six concerts for the membership cost of only $25 for adults and $55 for families (two adults and all children in the family),” said Marlene Robershaw, association president. “What a bargain, and right here in Ramona.”

Details about the upcoming Season will be announced at Saturday’s concert.
