WEDNESDAY NOON CONCERTS
As part of our ongoing mission to use the transformative power of the arts to inspire and enrich our community, we have opened our doors for the past three years, every Wednesday at noon, and presented concerts performed by talented musicians that are free of charge to the public. These complimentary performances offer listeners the opportunity to discover the beauty of music in an intimate accessible setting, while providing the community with cultural enrichment and exposure to talented performers.
Concerts are in a one-hour format and performances take place in the intimate Tivoli or Crescendo where both audience and musicians can sit in vibrant, close proximity. Musicians often stay after the performance to informally speak about the program and their upcoming concerts.
