The Alumni Association at California State University Long Beach‘s Concerts in the Grove will begin July 12, 2014.
The Alumni Association will present the 38th season of its Concerts in the Grove series beginning in July with four Saturday night performances at the Hollywood Bowl-type atmosphere of the campus’ Soroptimist House terrace located just off Beach Drive.
Gates for the Saturday performances open at 6 p.m. for concertgoers who wish to bring a picnic supper prior to the 7:30 p.m. program under the stars. Admission price is $30. Tickets can be ordered online at www.csulb.edu/alumni/events.
A popular Concerts in the Grove pastime is the drawing for donated gifts from local merchants. Just a few of the past prizes have included accommodations at fine hotels, gift certificates to acclaimed restaurants, wine tasting and tickets to theatre events.
Proceeds from Concerts in the Grove help finance the CSULB campus grants program and numerous alumni programs throughout the year. Thanks to community generosity, the number of grants and available dollars has steadily grown and the concert series continues its commitment to support the university’s educational programs of excellence.
This year’s schedule for the concerts begin July 12 with Tommy Tassi and the Authentics. The next program will be July 26, featuring Elm Street Band. The August 2 concert will feature Platinum Groove. The last show of the concert series will be August 16, 2014 and feature Stone Soul.
Those who wish to attend are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance due to limited availability and high demand. Information on each of the performers can be found at the Concerts in the Grove website.
