Many of our visitors are familiar with the Concerts On The Creek series and want to see the list, so that's how we start this page. Each event entry is live-linked to the event 'ticket'. Click or tap the following descriptions and make a minimum $5 "down payment" donation (a "ticket") that ensures general seating regardless of what time you arrive. If possible, please 'tip' us during the ticket-buying process or when you arrive at the concert. Total $10 donation suggested, but all donations are deeply appreciated.

FREEWILL DONATIONS ARE OUR 'BREAD AND BUTTER' BUT WE OFFER OTHER OPTIONS

We offer a 'pay at the door' freewill donation option, but if an event attracts more than our 150-seat limit, we can be forced to turn 'walk-in' guests away. To ensure seating regardless of arrival time, concertgoers may make a $5 per-person non-refundable 'down payment' in the form of a 'ticket' (and they can donate more when they arrive - total $10 per-person donation encouraged but all donations are appreciated). Those who are unable to make donations via the internet may phone 815.979.1949 or email cotc4500@gmail.com to make special arrangements. Or, just come to the concert and hope there's a vacant seat - there typically is. 

​

ACCESSIBILITY

We have first-floor access from our 97-vehicle parking lot to our listening area. Seating is on comfortable individual chairs (not pews) and we maintain generous aisle space. Because vehicles parked on Spring Brook Road might be ticketed, we encourage concertgoers to carpool, helping to ensure that our 97 spaces will be adequate for 150 listeners.

​

SEASONS, DAYS, AND TIMES

Most of our concerts occur on Saturdays, and they last about two hours (with a 15-minute mid-concert intermission). From mid-May through Mid-September, Saturday concerts typically begin at 7pm and end around 9pm. The rest of the year, most Saturday concerts are matinees that run from 3pm to 5pm. We occasionally offer special Friday evening and Sunday afternoon concerts.
