Music 1: Introduction to Music: Concert List

Concert List

List is compiled from a variety of sources including promotional materials, arts calendars, and online listings. Since the list is provided primarily for De Anza College music students, it may not be current when classes are not in session - for example, during winter, spring, and summer breaks. (After June 10 the list will not be regularly updated until the fall 2007 term begins.)

Disclaimer: The accuracy of the information in this list is not guaranteed and errors will occur from time to time. You are advised to confirm concert dates, times, locations, prices and other facts with the venues and performers before attending listed events.

NOTE: The list is updated only while classes are in session at De Anza College.
