Welcome to the Tuesday Musical Club

The Tuesday Musical Club, founded in 1901 by Anna Hertzberg, holds the distinction of being the oldest musical club for women in Texas. For more information about our history, click here.

We feature approximately 12 free programs each year during the October to May season.  These programs, which are always on Tuesdays, (except as noted) and held at our Clubhouse, consist of an afternoon concert program or music-focused educational lecture, followed by tea and sandwiches. All of our programs are open to the public.  We invite you to join us and bring a friend!

Come and go as you are able, and enjoy the performances of these amazing young people. The youngest JTMC members start off the day, with our high schoolers finishing off the competition in the afternoon.

TMC is devoted to the study, promotion, and performance of classical music. In 1923, the ladies of TMC began sponsoring an annual concert known as a Musical Tea; this soon evolved into the Artist Series.  The Artist Series concluded with its centennial season, but our tradition of concerts and teas continues through our regular programs. 

We are always happy to welcome new members to the Club. If you are a woman interested in membership, contact us at satuesdaymusicalclub@gmail.com. Members support our various outreach and educational programs, as well as our performance departments and the maintenance of the fabulous performance space that is our Clubhouse. They also can proudly take part in our over 100-year-tradition of musical appreciation and fellowship.

Our clubhouse is nestled inside historic Brackenridge Park, adjacent to the Japanese Tea Garden.  It was built in 1949, designed by prominent architect Atlee Ayres.  The exterior of the building features the busts of Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Mozart. The Genius of Music, a bronze statue by Italian sculptor Pompeo Coppini, welcomes visitors to the Clubhouse.  For more information about our club and our clubhouse, click here.
