Since 1948, the Kearney Concert Association has been and continues to be an essential central Nebraska resource for premier performances, quality musical entertainment, educational outreach, and cultural enhancement.



In 2003, we became the Kearney Concert Association, an independent association. Though classical artists remain an integral part of our series, offerings have expanded to include jazz, pop, dance and musical theater. The concerts continue to be of the highest quality, an essential mix of renowned artists and young performers on their way to prominence.



Since 2007, the Association has included educational outreach as part of the annual programing. We offer a yearly matinee for area youth, master classes and side-by-side performances, all made possible in part by the creation of an Association endowment.



The nonprofit Kearney Concert Association is managed by a volunteer board of directors. The board sustains its programs through membership sales, patron support, grants and our endowment enabling us to "provide and promote concerts of exceptional quality at affordable prices."
