We feature approximately 12 free programs each year during the September to May season.  These programs, which are always on Tuesdays, and held at our Clubhouse (except as noted), 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!

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.

On January 11, 2026, we celebrated our 125th anniversary with a gala Founders' Day concert and tea. The performers were Junior Tuesday Musical Club member Cameron Weber, violinist, TMC member and vocalist Crystal Jarrell Johnson, and acclaimed pianist James Dick, who had also performed at our 100th anniversary celebration.

Founders' Day co-chairs Lynn Amos and Deborah Moore turned the clubhouse into an elegant tea-room, the performers dazzled us with their virtuosity and warmth, and an excellent time was had by all.

We were especially happy that this lady was in attendance. TMC Honorary Life member Virginia Kane, 100 years young, is pictured here with James Dick. Virginia has been part of the Tuesday Musical Club for most of her life, and has the distinction of having personally met our Founder, Mrs. Hertzberg, when Virginia was a youngster in the Junior TMC. How appropriate that she could be with us on this Founders' Day!
