our mission
To inspire and enhance community through the performing arts
The Anchorage Concert Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1950 by a group of classical music enthusiasts who were committed to bringing the finest classical musicians to perform for the people of Anchorage.
Today, our purpose includes presenting internationally acclaimed artists from the entire spectrum of the performing arts in Alaska.
We believe the arts benefit everyone
Therefore we strive to provide access and exposure to a broad spectrum of the population and also to those who might not otherwise be able to attend arts events.
Since 1950 the Anchorage Concert Association has presented more than 700 performances of the world’s finest music, dance and theatre. Our small staff handles everything from selecting artists and presenting productions to marketing the events and raising additional funds necessary to cover all the costs. Our volunteers provide behind-the-scenes assistance that makes our season a success.
is for all Alaskans to experience the performing arts, creating a more vibrant and enriched community.
The Anchorage Concert Association is the largest performing arts presenter in Alaska and acts as an anchor in the touring schedules of artists as they come through the Northwest. Our audience comes from Greater Anchorage, Mat-Su Valley, Kenai Peninsula and even as far away as Utqiaġvik. More than 35,000 people of a variety of ages, income levels and cultural backgrounds will attend an Anchorage Concert Association performance during the coming season.
