In celebration of our 20th Anniversary Season, we are throwing the doors wide open and inviting all to attend our concerts for free! We’re celebrating with a little something for everyone from fresh Michigan bands to the 500-year-old Vienna Boys Choir, from legendary Detroit artist Alvin Waddles to our own Scott Wilkinson with his newly composed Broadway-bound musical. To top it off, we’re giving thanks for 20 outstanding years by giving back…we’re taking a donation at the door and giving away the proceeds to some of Birmingham First’s local missions!
You may also donate online. Please enter your donation as “other” and designate your contributions as “Live at First.” Click here to donate today.
We are grateful to our Friends of Live@First for making this possible. If you’d like to become a Friend, please contact the music office.
