Outreach Programs Overview
Salon Concerts
Make music a part of your life!
Masterclass with Bridget Kibby, harp
Interested in enriching a gathering of your social club or friends? InConcert Sierra offers entertaining and informative salons with pianists Ken Hardin and/or Aileen James.
Each salon is an hour of music (classical, jazz and/or Broadway) that may include an educational element to make listening to music more accessible, interesting and fun.
The salons are informative, enjoyable and well received by party-goers and participants. Each salon is $750 and helps us to keep our outreach programs thriving!
For more information, please contact us.

Aileen James, board member of InConcert Sierra/TCCA since 1998 and our pre-concert forum hostess who holds a Doctorate in Music Art, is a DJ on local community radio station KVMR the second Thursday of the month at 8pm. Her ‘Classical Showcase’ is the only primetime music show in the Sacramento and surrounding area.

Laura June Breen SMC Vocal Competition
In the fall of each season, we present a competition of local singers ages 12-20. This is a performance based competition with a $500 award as a grand prize. We limit the competition to the first 10 applications we receive and the requirements are to perform two songs of varying styles or genres – piano accompaniment provided if needed. Applications will be available by September 1, 2012.
