Share

Celebrating 50 Years of Music In Borrego Springs


Since its founding in 1975, the Borrego Springs Community Concert Association (BSCCA) has been the heart of music in Borrego Springs. It began in the high school’s multi-purpose room and evolved into enchanting concerts at the Performing Arts Center. The 2025 season marks their 50th season, celebrating a legacy of music that continues to enrich the community.


Supporting a Nonprofit Vision


BSCCA is not just a concert association; it's a community pillar that thrives on a strong nonprofit foundation. With approximately 60% of its operating budget sourced from private donors and corporate sponsors, the BSCCA relies heavily on the generosity of its supporters. The remaining 40% is generated through memberships and individual ticket sales, making it an organization powered by the collective contributions of music enthusiasts.


This independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit operates with an all-volunteer team, ensuring that every donation is maximized to enrich Borrego Springs through the arts. As they celebrate their 50th season, the BSCCA remains committed to its mission, fostering a love for music in the community while nurturing the next generation of performers and audiences.
