The Capitol Pops Concert Band will kick off its 23nd season with a free, open to the public concert at 7 p.m. Friday, March 22, 2019, at the California Automobile Museum, 2200 Front Street in Sacramento.

 

     Under the baton of Director Judith Steinle, the CPCB will perform a fresh program of pops tunes, reflecting the band's "Take Me Away" theme -- a musical journey designed to please a wide variety of listener tastes. This will be the band's seventh annual performance at the downtown Sacramento venue.  The two-hour concert includes a 20-minute intermission.

 

     The concert is being sponsored by THE NIELLO COMPANY, based in Sacramento.

 

     The California Automobile Museum will open to the public at 6 p.m. at no charge on March 22.  Visitors are welcome to tour the museum, get detailed information from museum docents and visit the gift shop before attending the free CPCB concert -- 7 to 9 p.m. with a 20-minute intermission. Liquid refreshments will be available for purchase on-site.
