While there is no admission fee to attend the Tuba Bach concerts and most special events (some of our workshops occasionally have a small fee to cover food costs, etc.), rather than think of them as free, we prefer to think of our concerts and outreach programs as being priceless. After all, to attend performances by any of our guest artists would normally involve a hefty ticket price, not to mention travel to a large metropolitan area. To have not just one, but a whole year’s worth of performances by world-class artists, and with a variety of educational and cultural enrichment opportunities for our students and community members, and to have them all presented right here in Big Rapids, and to have them available without an admission charge, is truly a priceless opportunity for everyone.

Tuba Bach’s priceless performances do come with a financial cost – tens of thousands of dollars, in fact – paid by contributions from businesses, organizations, and individuals like you.
