About Friday Noonday Concerts

For more than 20 years Fourth Church has offered free Noonday Concerts every Friday of the year (except on holidays) — a total of more than 1,000 free concerts!

These concerts are enabled by three generous gifts: one in memory of Pamela L. McGaan, devoted wife and mother, lover of music, and longtime member of Fourth Presbyterian Church; one from the estate of Ann Dow Weinberg, also a longtime member of Fourth Church and a lover of music as well as a faithful attender of these Friday Noonday Concerts; and one from the endowment of Rosemary Schnell.

Supporting Fourth Church Music

If you would like to sponsor a Friday Noonday Concert in honor of a friend, loved one, or music mentor or to observe a special occasion, please contact Katy Frey Bever (312.981.3380).
