For our third season we’re thrilled to continue our pay-as-you-wish model for all concerts and subscriptions, making exceptional music accessible to everyone. As a donor-driven organization, your support is vital. We believe that a concert with live passionate musicians and a deeply engaged audience creates a potent invitation to experience the beloved presence of the Divine. This belief grows out of the values taught at Calvary Baptist: welcome all, be closed to none--all deserve to experience the beloved care of the Divine. In our musical programming we aim to offer "a seat at the table" to under-represented composers and those who can't afford expensive live music experiences. Click here for tickets.
