The First Thursdays concerts are held the first Thursday of each month from September through June each year, and include a wine-and-cheese reception on the Civic Center plaza followed by a 75-minute performance.
Subscriptions are now available for the 2021-2022 season, which begins on September 2. From classical to jazz to bluegrass, the Foundation’s Cultural Arts Committee has chosen ten diverse, highly-talented ensembles to perform at Town Hall this season: from Holly Hofmann and Mike Wofford to the Hutchins Consort to Peter Sprague to the world renowned sitarist Kartik Seshadri.
Each year this popular series sells out quickly. To be added to the wait list for future years, which gives you the earliest opportunity to subscribe, send an email to CA@delmarfoundation.org, and be sure to include your postal mailing address. Please note that we maintain a wait-list for 92014 residents only.
