Concerts are held at Placer High School, corner of Agard and High Streets.
The Auburn Community Concert Association (ACCA) was founded in 1945 by several prominent Auburn citizens for the purpose of bringing urban cultural experiences to small-town America at an affordable price. Over the years, hundreds of musical artists from all over the world have given performances for the benefit of residents of the greater Auburn and South Placer area. In 1947, the ACCA purchased a Baldwin 12' concert grand piano to enhance the organization's ability to attract top-quality musicians to this area. The piano has been consistently maintained and occasionally rebuilt in order to provide a world-class instrument for visiting artists (and to assist local organizations with their own musical performances as well). Although most of the artists that have performed throughout the 59-year history of the ACCA have been in the classical genre, programs have also included folk musicians, native cultural musicians from various countries, jazz performers and other diverse musical artists from around the world. Such renowned performers as Leontyne Price, Chanticleer, Chaskinaquy and Jury's Irish Cabaret have performed in Auburn and gone on to national (or international) fame.
The mission of the ACCA continues to be: To provide the residents and families of the greater Auburn and South Placer areas with world-class, high quality musical performances at a very affordable price. A secondary goal of the ACCA is to promote interest in classical and traditional music among school students by providing (when the artists are willing and monetary resources are available) student concerts outside the normal concert schedule and/or masters' classes for students that wish to learn more about music from a practicing artist.
The ACCA has no paid staff positions, nor are the Governing Board members provided with any remuneration - all are volunteers. All funds collected through subscriptions, ticket sales and donations to the Patron Plan are used to cover the expenses associated with the concerts and maintenance of the piano.
