Concert season is in the works

The Los Gatos-Saratoga Community Concert Association is now selling tickets and subscriptions for its 51st season of four performances, which run from November 1998 to April 1999.

All concerts take place at 2:30 p.m. in the Los Gatos High School Prentiss Brown Auditorium, except for the Feb. 14 concert, which is held across the street at the First United Methodist Church of Los Gatos.
