The Old Church Concert Hall (TOC)
Mission
Our mission is to produce, present and support programs that reflect and enhance the cultural life of the community and to preserve and celebrate the building’s historic architecture.
Bottom Line for Portland
CELEBRATE MUSIC, ART, AND COMMUNITY IN THE HEART OF PORTLAND.
Want to do something really nice for your fellow Portlanders?
A gift to The Old Church Concert Hall (TOC) helps fund free concerts, community events, and the care of our historic 1882 landmark, a place where music, art, and community come alive every day.
For decades, TOC has been known as a venue, a very grand one. Today, we’re proud to be much more. We’re a gathering place for artists of all kinds, the communities they represent, and the audiences who come to celebrate them.
We strive to make the arts joyfully accessible to everyone. There’s music in everything we do, from showcasing diverse performers and local visual artists to partnering with community nonprofits and expanding our free concert series that bring new life to downtown Portland.
For more than 55 years, TOC has been part of Portland’s fabric, and we’re doing all we can to help our city and its creative spirit thrive.
