Explore the events, competitions, and educational opportunities we organize
The Ladies Musical Club has established a number of events, competitions, education opportunities, and more hosted each year. Through these programs, we have generated national interest and attention to our organization, helping fulfill our mission to foster and grow appreciation of classical music throughout the community.
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. 132 years later, we continue working to fulfill this, and have expanded our goals to provide musicians and our cohorts with opportunities for professional growth and showcasing.
Provide new and established musicians with performance opportunities
Bring classical music to children and schools with limited arts budget and exposure
Organize public concerts open to all members of the community
Partner and work with other musical groups and organizations to identify and utilize collaboration prospects
Host educational talks and discussion groups centered around classical music and its history and trajectory
We recognize the importance of exposure to classical music at an early age and our Music In Schools (MIS) program is focused on providing this opportunity to a broad spectrum of children around the Seattle area. We specifically seek elementary schools that have limited or no organized music program or professional staff - an important educational opportunity that frequently disappears first amid lack of public funds.
Our annual competition of XX years offers classical musicians ages 20 to 35 to audition for an award package to help their career and increase their exposure. The winners of this competition provide community outreach by performing for and visiting with members of the community throughout locations in Washington State.
Classical Music Performances For The Pacific Northwest
From October to May, we organize over 50 concerts featuring our performing members and their guests, at a variety of venues throughout the Greater Seattle area. We put emphasis on reaching a wide, varied audience.
Our programs provide significant community reach to accomplish our mission of growing classical music appreciation. Check out what our concerts, competitions, and education efforts have achieved below.
