The 2011-2012 season has something for everyone, at a price we all can afford.

Sean Jones, whose smooth blend of pop, soul and big-band favorites have made him a force on the international music scene, kicks off the season October 15. Singing classics like Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” and Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Me,” Sean’s captivating on-stage presence is a can't miss show.

November 5, the John Jorgenson Quintet, led by Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson, lends virtuosity to an appealing blend of gypsy jazz (a la Django Reinhardt), pop, country and a little bit of rock. Don’t miss the dazzling fret work and sizzling clarinet licks that punctuate this exciting show.

Re-live the hits from yesterday when Three Hits and a Miss bring you American Pop, on January 21, 2012. A multi-talented quartet of vocalists and musicians, Three Hits and a Miss present the billboard chart toppers from the mid 1950s through the mid 1980s with high energy, versatility and a variety of musical formats – four and three part harmony, duos and solos, taking turns at the piano, and accompanied by bass, percussion and horns.

The CRCCA continues the season March 24, 2012, with the Rastrelli Cello Quartet. The Rastrelli CQ is not your mother’s cello quartet. These cell-istas can sound like a symphony one moment and play ragtime, jazz or even a polka the next.  Their repertoire consists entirely of transcriptions of pieces not intended to be performed on the cello. Combine that with their skill and artistry, and you’ve got one exciting and entertaining program.

CRCCA closes the season June 9, 2012, with The Redhead Express, who are equally at home playing straightforward bluegrass as they are playing their own unique renditions of old-timey and gospel music. This wholesome family showcases the four daughters’ beautiful harmonies and original songs.  Mom and Dad might add vocal depth and backup, and the younger siblings might even join in with their amazing talent.

For 81 years, the Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association has offered quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford. Members can attend all five of these exciting concerts for one low price – just $40.
