Friday Morning Music Club

The Friday Morning Music Club is Celebrating 135 Years of Music

When the Friday Morning Music Club was founded in 1886, women trained in music had few outlets for performance, and the city’s musical life was very limited.  As time went on, membership was opened to men and Club performances were opened to “friends” and achieved recognition for their professional quality.  The FMMC was one of five organizations/individuals that gave $5,000 to found the National Symphony Orchestra in 1931.  In 1974 the FMMC began offering weekly concerts to the public, becoming the major presenter that it is today.  The Club supports a full orchestra, a chorale, a composers group, many at-home music groups, and an outreach program to retirement and nursing homes.  In the 1946-47 season, the Club established a Foundation for the purpose of giving money to promising young musicians who are at the threshold of their careers.  It has a long history of performing for WCCC audiences.
