Community Concerts of the Grand Valley (CCGV) would like to thank YOU, our music champions, for your continued commitment to bringing world-class performances to the Grand Valley at an affordable price.

Our 2023-2024 concert season included an exciting lineup of performances. The Folk Legacy Trio brought a wave of nostalgia and tranquility with their beautiful vocals, guitar melodies and music from iconic artists like The Weavers; Peter, Paul and Mary and Joni Mitchell. The 11-piece Phat Cat Swingers delivered electrifying entertainment with their lively singing and dancing. 

The Sounds of Silence transported us back to the 1970s Greenwich Village folk scene with hits by Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, John Denver and others. The Suits took us on a journey through the decades from the ’50s to the ’80s with smooth choreography and tight harmonies in songs like “Oh, What a Night” and “My Girl.” 

ABBAfab had members singing, dancing and dressing up in ABBA style, while 7,000 Miles of Broadway, brimming with radio and Broadway hits, treated us to a musical journey spanning from country twang to Frankie Valli.

We extended our gratitude to volunteers from a different local organization at each concert, including Partners of Mesa County, Meals on Wheels, VA of Western Colorado, Grand Junction Lions Club and St. Mary’s Hospital.

We had a blast expanding our social media presence through exciting drawings held during intermissions. Be sure to follow us on Instagram at @communityconcerts_grandvalley or on Facebook at Community Concerts of the Grand Valley to catch previews of upcoming performances, meet the artists and even snag some free tickets so you can bring your friends!

Who made all of these performances possible? YOU, our valued and faithful ticket-holding members; our very generous sponsors and donors; our dedicated volunteers; the helpful Avalon staff; our artist agents and our wonderful friends at the BEACON. Thank you for your continued support!

We are looking forward to a wonderful 80th concert season! Here’s what we have planned:

Uptown

Prepare to enter a time capsule to the Golden Era of American music with your favorite rock ’n roll, blues, country and jazz hits from the 1950s.
