Old First Concerts: April, 2023

After a busy March, the performances that will take place in the Old First Concerts (O1C) series at Old First Presbyterian Church will be limited to four, two of which will serve as a “mini-festival.” While we are gradually emerging from COVID pandemic conditions, O1C will continue to allow both live streaming and seating in the church at 1751 Sacramento Street on the southwest corner of Van Ness Avenue. General admission tickets will be sold for $25 with reduced rates for seniors ($20) and students ($5). The suggested donation for those viewing the live stream is $20. Hyperlinks to the event pages (which include hyperlinks for streaming) will be attached to the date and time of the performances as follows:

Saturday, April 15, 7 p.m.: This program will contribute to the year-long celebration of the centennial birthday of Maestro Ali Akbar Khan, recognized by those familiar with Indian classical music as a master of the sarod.
