The Livingston Community Concert Association is the fruition of an idea of Jo Nevins and her family 38 years ago that was discussed with Sherry Peterson Foster, Debbie Haynes Jenke, Nell Franklin and Miriam Young. The idea grew into a community dream come true. While there were just a handful of patrons then, there are now over 368 patrons, endowment contributors, benefactors and sponsors and over 217 members of the Livingston Community Concert Association, Inc. The organization has made a tremendous impact on the community with years of outstanding musical talent and musical education for both adults and students.
