Wednesday Music Club has over 150 members who are listeners, teachers, performers, and music advocates. We share a love of music and a desire to support and encourage young musicians in central Virginia.
Members enjoy musical programs in the auditorium of The Center at Belvedere on the first Wednesday of October, November, December, February, April and May. Support for music education and young musicians includes funding for public school music programs, young musicians' recitals, tuition assistance, an annual competition awarding cash prizes and scholarships, and two university-level scholarship programs. Members also gather informally to perform with and for one another.
