Music Live at Christ Church

Music Live at Christ Church is a series of free public concerts, usually on the first Thursday of each month. All Thursday concerts last about 30-40 minutes. While each concert is free of charge, donations are gratefully accepted toward selected food banks in the Glendale and greater Cincinnati area. Suggested donation is $5.

All entry doors, worship spaces and restrooms are handicap-accessible. Plenty of parking is available in the Sharon Road lot, with the Chapel entrance just inside the exterior doors.

Hey, all you stay-at-home-parents! These concerts are an easy, enriching outing for you and your kids. All kids are welcome, from the littlest babies to your exploring toddlers and beyond. There’s plenty of room to spread out a blanket on the floor for your babies to move around, and all are invited to bring a snack or sack lunch to enjoy. Some of the concerts are fun and some are more “serious” but either way, all ages are welcomed to these informal musical presentations in the sunny and spacious Chapel of the Holy Spirit (lower level of Christ Church Glendale). Restrooms are located just outside of the Chapel entrance and all are equipped with changing tables. Private, locking rooms located just down the hall from the Chapel are available for any nursing mothers, if needed.
