All of our concerts are free and open to the public, however we do appreciate any donations that our audiences can contribute. We accept donations at the door, or online at the link on the registration form. We suggest a $5-$20 donation per seat for our reserved concerts. These contributions go towards the many expenses of presenting our Concert Series free to the community, and we are humbly grateful for every dollar.
Thank you, and we'll see you at the events!
