The final concert of the Community Concert Association season will be a performance by the Harry James Orchestra, who will appear at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, in the Glenwood Springs High School auditorium. Admission is free for the public with purchase of a membership for next season. Season membership prices are: adult, $35; student, $15; and family, $80.

Tables will be set up in the lobby for ticket sales and renewals. The membership campaign seeks sponsors and donors along with renewals by individuals and families.

The Harry James Orchestra will play old familiar tunes that were hits for the original Harry James Music Makers. Harry James was an American jazz musician, band leader and one of the most popular trumpet players of the big band era. He was part of the Benny Goodman Orchestra in 1936. The Harry James Orchestra plays the major venues of the United States and tours around the world.
