Brown Bat It series at the TPAC

Brown Bag It

The Brown Bag It free noontime concert series features some of Oklahoma’s finest professional musicians performing in TPAC's Westby Pavilion.

The mission of the series is to offer the community an opportunity to visit the TPAC and experience quality musical performances. Audiences are invited to bring and eat lunch during the concerts, creating an informal atmosphere. Likewise, the musicians are encouraged to “inform” as well as perform by giving background information or program notes during the concert, breaking down the barriers between performer and audience. Each concert lasts approximately 40 minutes.

No need to buy or reserve tickets (except for the Tulsa Festival Ringers).
