About NOONTIME CONCERTS

Noontime Concerts is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit presenting free, weekly noon-hour classical chamber music concerts (historically at Old St. Mary’s Cathedral) and curated digital programs. Founded in the late 1980s, the organization’s programming emphasizes high-quality performances by Bay Area and international artists and provides performance opportunities for emerging musicians. In recent years Noontime Concerts expanded its digital footprint with high-resolution livestreams, a pay-per-view/on-demand library, and a virtual concert hall to reach audiences beyond downtown San Francisco. The organization’s EIN (94-3123314) and tax-exempt status are publicly reported by the organization and established nonprofit data sources, and it continues to operate as a donor-facing arts charity with active fundraising and program activity through at least 2024–2026.
