The Friday Noon Musicales at First Unitarian Society is a free noon-hour recital series offered as a gift to the community.  Founded in 1971, 2020-2021 is the series’ 50th season. The series has featured some of the finest musicians in the Midwest, who flock to perform in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Landmark Auditorium. The music performed is mostly classical, but folk, jazz, and musical theater styles are presented on occasion. During the pandemic, the Musicales have largely been on hiatus.
