The Next Best Thing to Being There
2020 was a make it or break it year for Noontime Concerts. After 32 years of presenting weekly live audience concerts, we were forced to close our doors.
Wasting no time we immediately committed to presenting our concerts online with remastered recordings from our archives. Throughout last year we continued to upgrade our production capabilities. This week's remastered presentation is an example of a year's worth of effort and our total commitment to the Noontime Concerts mission.
