The Ottawa Concert Association will launch its 2025-26 season Sept. 6 with a high-energy tribute to 1970s and early ’80s music by The Sidekicks, a group of professional musicians dedicated to reviving classic hits for longtime fans and new audiences alike.

The season opener will take place at 7 p.m. at Central School, 711 E. McKinley Road, Ottawa. The Sidekicks’ show combines popular songs from the era with nostalgic pop culture references.

The season continues Oct. 30 with Aria Nouveau, a duo performing crossover hits, Broadway favorites and popular music in an elegant concert suitable for all ages.

In the spring, the She Gees, a female-led tribute to the Bee Gees, will perform March 18, delivering an energetic set of the band’s well-known hits.

The season closes April 16 with Cecelia Teneal’s Divas of Soul, featuring chart-topping songs from legendary artists such as Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and Whitney Houston in celebration of 30 years of music.

A season adult membership costs $60, while family memberships are $130. Membership includes admission to all four concerts in Ottawa, plus free entry to four additional concerts by the Livingston Concert Association in Pontiac.
