Public Concerts and Other LMC Events
Free Public Concert Series
LMC’s most visible face is its Public Concert Series that offers free classical music concerts from October through May by LMC member-musicians and guests. The classical music series is presented at a variety of venues throughout the Seattle metro area, including Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Public Library – Central and West Seattle Branches, University House Wallingford, Mirabella Seattle, Tagney Jones Hall, Bellevue’s Crossroads Community Center Theater, and the Music Center of the Northwest in North Seattle.
These intimate, one-half-hour to one-hour, music programs are free and open to the public. A selection of these are now available online through our Facebook page and YouTube channel. No advance tickets are required.
