Our Noon Hour Concerts are back for another incredible season of music and community building under the artistic direction of our Music Director Ann-Marie MacDairmid. After a long hiatus, we are excited to welcome guests back into our sanctuary to enjoy these concerts in person and we will continue to stream live to our YouTube channel.
Admission to the building is free, and a sandwich lunch is available for purchase prior to each recital between 11:30am - 12:15pm with the concert beginning at 12:15pm.
We look forward to welcoming the musical community back to our sanctuary this fall.
