About Us

Supporting classical music since 1891

Founded in 1891 by 22 intrepid women musicians, the Ladies Musical Club is Seattle's oldest musical organization. Our original mission was to foster an appreciation of classical music in the cultural life of a city that was just starting to find its identity.
