TEMP 2019-2020 Season
Love’s illusion: Virtual Edition

Thank you, TEMP fans, for being patient and for giving us the opportunity to figure out how best to return to what we love most. We are happy to announce that TEMP will return from its pause after the onset of Covid-19 to present pre-recorded videos of the concerts that were to take place in March and May. Please see those concert listings below.

Although we have been offering our specialized Musical Tacos as a freebie every Tuesday since April, we will be selling tickets to our video concerts for the foreseeable future in order to help pay our professional performers, our audio and video editors, and others. The prices are lower than the ticket prices for our live concerts, of course, and there is a sliding scale to help with a variety of economic situations. As TEMP needs to stay financially viable so we can bring music to you and employment to our performers, as well as address our charter, we hope that you agree that these kinds of artistic endeavors are worth the price of admission and more.

Subscribers to the 2019-2020 Season and those who purchased individual tickets to the March and May concerts will receive an email about your tickets; you will not need to purchase tickets to view the concert videos.

Individual tickets may be purchased by clicking/tapping on the button below each concert description as they become available. We will be offering sliding-scale payment options for these virtual events:
• $5 Student/Supporter
• $15 Fan
• $25 Friend
• $50 Patron

The general admission price is the Fan category, $15. If you're struggling due to the Coronavirus situation, take advantage of our lower-priced Student/Supporter offer. If you’re able to pay a little more, and can help someone else pay less, please do so with the Friend and Patron prices. 

We hope you will enjoy our virtual concert events! The benefit: No need to worry about traffic and parking! You will be able to enjoy these concerts in the comfort of your own home—even with snacks if you so desire.

Please join us as we reconnect with you through the magic of music.
