The Tuesday Musical Club was founded in 1901 by five women with the vision of studying, performing and promoting fine music to the San Antonio community. Tuesday Musical Club continues to flourish by bringing the enjoyment of quality music to its members and friends, and still embodies the values of performance and education that were so long ago set in place by its founders.
Tuesday Musical Club sponsors three outreach programs for the community
Artist SeriesSince 1923, the Artist Series of the Tuesday Musical Club has featured concerts by premier world-class artists, many of them appearing for the first time in San Antonio. The Artist Series is one of the oldest continuous musical series sponsored by women in the United States. |
Junior TMCThe Junior Tuesday Musical Club was established to instill and nourish the promotion, study and performance of music as a fine art in students grades 1 - 12, using the best of music literature. It also promotes friendship, encourages the study and performance of fine repertoire and inspires excellence. |
Young Artists CompetitionSince 1956, a Young Artists Competition has been held each spring for serious college students of music who reside or study in Texas, with significant cash prizes. The competition alternates between piano, voice and strings. |

I grew up in San Antonio, and those years were filled with encouragement for me. Tuesday Musical Club is a focal point for dedicated musicians. When you are around others who share your interests, you become exposed to new perspectives, interpretations and technique. This experience expands your understanding and range of possibilities, and piques your curiosity. For me, TMC was a place that kept the flame of my musical interests burning, gave me the opportunity to meet other pianists, and provided me with a platform for performance. For those reasons it was an invaluable place for me growing up; I would not have pursued a career in music without it. - Daniel Anastasio, 2017 Artist Series Performer | What the Tuesday Musical Club is doing for San Antonio is extraordinary and I encourage any and all of you to support such institutions…support them boldly and aggressively. The arts are a subject that concerns all of us (because) truth, beauty and goodness are important to us. The world needs a great deal more beauty. - Paul Jacobs, Grammy Award Winner
