Birmingham Music Club Presents

The Live-Streamed Parlor Concert

featuring CHOKO AIKEN, Piano

and her Jazz Combo

July 26, 2020, 3:00 pm

Sponsored by

Michael J. and MaryAnne Freeman

Also Sponsored by

Alabama State Council on the Arts

and

Live-streamed at

Facebook.com/BhamMusicClub,

Facebook.com/LyricTheatre,

and

Originally scheduled for April 19 as our traditional

Parlor Concert at the Clubhouse on Highland,

we first rescheduled it to Sunday, July 26, hoping

it would be safe to have gatherings by then.

But since it is not, we have changed it to a

Live-Streamed Concert!

Same artists, same concert program, same date,

but you will now be viewing it from

the comfort & safety of your own home.

You do not need a ticket to view this concert.

Original Ticketholders have already received

an e-mail message with special instructions.

With a Donation of $25 or more to the Birmingham Music Club,

receive a gift of an exclusive Souvenir DVD of the concert.

We also encourage you to support the

Lyric Fine Arts Theatre

and

Alabama Public Television.

The concert will also be simulcast on YouTube.
