Join soprano Diane Penning and her son, composer/pianist Henry Koperski, for an unforgettable performance celebrating the timeless melodies of the Great American Songbook—beloved standards, Broadway favorites, and more. Both classically trained and internationally experienced, this dynamic duo brings warmth, charm, and exceptional artistry to every note.
Sunday Afternoon Live! concerts are free to the public, and include a family friendly reception where patrons can meet the artists and enjoy fellowship with each other.
The mission of Sunday Afternoon Live! is to enrich the cultural life of the greater Battle Creek Community and to continue the tradition of the First Congregational Church as a patron of artistic creativity and expression. We endeavor to do this by sponsoring a series of free concerts that present musical artistry that is exciting, beautiful, varied and enjoyable. We will underwrite the concerts by means of donors and sponsors in order to make the concerts available to the entire community.
For the past 10 years, we have enjoyed a partnership with the Michigan Humanities and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs for grant funding to help support the series. Due to recent funding cuts, this source of funding is not currently available, so we will be relying totally on the generosity of local business and patrons to keep this popular series free to the public. Your support is appreciated!
