CAPE GIRARDEAU -- The Community Concert Association of Cape Girardeau will offer two bonus concerts this month in conjunction with its annual membership drive.
The concerts are open to the public free of charge when season tickets to the Community Concert Association's 1991-92 season are purchased.
Baritone Gordon Hawkins will perform April 16 at 8 p.m. in Academic Auditorium. Hawkins, hailed by the Washington Post as "one of the most promising young singers Washington has produced in recent years," is the first-prize winner of the 1989 National Institute of Musical Theater competition.
A graduate of the University of Maryland, Hawkins has performed at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Carnegie Hall, and at the International Opera Festival in Tokyo, Japan.
The Crescent City Jazz Band will perform April 30 at 8 p.m. in Academic Auditorium.
Membership in the concert association includes free admittance to concerts throughout the season plus free admittance to Southeast Missouri State Cultural Program series concerts, and reciprocal memberships to attend community concerts in Perryville, Poplar Bluff, Sikeston, Paducah and Carbondale.
Season tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. A family membership is $50.
