- We have formed wonderful new partnerships with other Bay Area arts organizations like Earplay, the Ross McKee Foundation, and the San Francisco International Piano Festival.
- High quality live streaming of all our concerts has expanded access for our audiences.
- We have increased the box office share for performers to support the ability of local musicians to continue to live and work in the Bay Area.
We recognize the challenges that we still face: the slow return of live audiences after the pandemic, a shift in the funding landscape by major Foundations, and the economic uncertainties brought about by inflation, conflict and climate change. When you give to Old First Concerts, you invest in the local arts community and stand with us as we overcome these challenges together!
Your donation to Old First Concerts:
- Helps keep our prices incredibly affordable – you might have to pay twice as much to hear the same artists at another venue. We also provide $5 tickets for low-income seniors and students to nearly every concert.
- Supports local musicians and keeps them in our community. Our series has hosted many first post-pandemic performances.
- Ensures a safe space for music by women and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) composers. Performers of this music seek out Old First Concerts as the venue of choice for this programming.
This year, we hope you would consider of gift of $125 or another amount that feels right to you. We deeply appreciate all gifts and acknowledge them in our printed programs and on our website.
