- You may visit the church website late Friday morning and scroll to the bottom of the home page to find a link.
- You may visit the Facebook page for Music at Midday at National City Christian Church and view the recording there.
If you aren’t able to join us at 12:15 p.m., you may use any of these same methods to enjoy the concert at whatever time is convenient for you.
We would love to be welcoming you to in-person concerts, but in addition to restrictions on in-person gatherings because of the coronavirus pandemic, the church is undergoing a complete replacement of its HVAC system. Since there will be no heat in the building for several months, all of our concerts are being recorded by artists in their home locations through the end of April. We are grateful for these creative and generous musicians who are performing from around the country and around the world.
Be sure to join us for these other online concerts during March:
- March 12: Sondra Goldsmith Proctor, St. Lawrence University, Canton, New York, in a program of music honoring African American contributions
- March 19: Colin MacKnight, New York City
- March 26: Nicholas Will, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, performing music inspired by his recent year in Italy
