Our History & Mission

As Seattle’s oldest musical organization, the Ladies Musical Club’s original mission was to foster an appreciation of classical music in a city just starting to find its identity. 134 years later, we continue working toward this goal, providing our LMC musicians, composers, and other LMC colleagues with opportunities for professional growth, networking, and community service.
