Anchorage Concert Association

The Anchorage Concert Association (ACA), founded in 1950 by a group of classical music enthusiasts, is a non-profit arts organization in Alaska.

Each year the ACA brings several national touring shows and artists to Anchorage. All ACA performances are held at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The organization has presented more than 700 music, dance, and theatre performances. The organization has an annual budget of $4 million, 75% of which is earned through ticket sales.[1] Past performers include Bill Cosby, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and Suzanne Vega.[2] The organization also worked with Lorene Harrison.[3]
