The PCA offers a variety of concerts and comedy shows from classical to jazz to rock & blues. Charming, historic, intimate, unique…no words do justice to the experience of a PCA concert. Evenings concerts are cafe-style with a BYO policy, making them the perfect family-friendly venue to gather with friends and neighbors. Our intimate space has a capacity of about 125 seated cafe-style so there isn’t a bad seat in the house. And you will almost always run into neighbors and friends at each event!
A brand-new collaboration with the Boston Classical Guitar Society will bring four great guitar ensembles and soloists to Westford in 2019-2020. Combined with our Piano Heritage and Chamber Music series, the season will feature an afternoon classical concert almost every month of the season.
