First Palo Alto United Methodist Church

Concert Venue

Concert Venue

We are delighted that you are considering First United Methodist Church in downtown Palo Alto for your next concert. With its soaring ceiling, dramatic architecture, great acoustics, Bosendorfer grand piano and magnificent Merritt Speidel Organ, our sanctuary offers a wonderful venue for your concert.  Located close to restaurants with ample parking around the church and in the public lot on Webster, this is an ideal location.

The Sanctuary has a total seating capacity of 525. This includes seating in the balcony as well as on the main floor. We have the ability to install a stage over the chancel steps, as we do for such groups as Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, and the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra.  We provide risers for choral groups, a limited number of music stands, and a conductor’s podium.

  • We rent our facility only to non profit organizations.  You must provide a copy of your 501(C)3 and evidence of liability insurance for the event.
  • Piano tuning, if requested, must be performed by our technician and will be billed directly to your organization.

For information about tours and pricing, contact us at concertcoordinator@firstpaloalto.com. We would love to share our exciting facility with you.
