🎶 Tonto Community Concert Association Receives Arizona Arts Grant! 🎶
For 48 years, the Tonto Community Concert Association (TCCA) has brought outstanding national and international musical artists to Payson through its community concert series. Today, TCCA offers one of the largest community concert programs in the nation, serving both adults and students.
Our success is made possible through the generous support of local businesses, individual donors, and arts organizations, including Creative West, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Grants from these organizations, combined with ticket sales and local donations, help us provide free educational lecture-demonstration concerts for Payson students and keep high-quality live performances affordable for our community.
We are excited to announce that this August, Tonto Community Concert Association received a $4,720 grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, an agency of the State of Arizona. This grant recognizes the many ways TCCA enriches the Payson community through the power of live concert music and will help support our 2026–2027 concert season.
Thank you to the Arizona Commission on the Arts and to all of our patrons, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who make our mission possible. Together, we're keeping the arts alive and thriving in Payson! 🎵❤️
