Our Mission

The Brownville Concert Series is a program of the Brownville Fine Arts Association (BFAA) and is managed and promoted by a volunteer committee. Patrons of the Concert Series are encouraged to become members of the Brownville Fine Arts Association (BFAA). You will receive $1.00 off of the regular ticket prices at the Patron level and above.

The mission of the Concert Series is to bring professional live performance to Southeast Nebraska. The program is varied and includes classical instrumental, Cabaret performances based on the American Songbook, Jazz (instrumental and vocal), Rock and Roll, Bluegrass, Vocal Recital, Opera and a specially commissioned Christmas Gala. The series presents 10 to 11 events each year. The mission has an added dimension in that the artists who participate are only those who have significant national or international reputations, are leaders in their field of music or, if young and unknown, have won important international auditions.

The Concert Series began in 1990. The Concert Series introduced the Cabaret musical concept to Southeast Nebraska. There are few cities, much less villages, that have any venue that presents and celebrates the American Songbook. The Brownville Concert Series has established a reputation as one of the leading (and more desirable) performance venues in the United States. The roster of past performers includes most all the significant names in the world of cabaret music.
