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.

2026 Fiesta Medals are here!

This year's medals celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Club's founding and the 75th anniversary of the dedication of the Clubhouse. Both front and back of the medals note these amazing milestones. These are keepsake mementos we know you'll want to have. They will be available for sale (at the low price of $10!) at all meetings and competitions. Checks or cash accepted. 

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!

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.

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!
