These eminent names of the classical music canon all played in San Antonio before they achieved worldwide fame, thanks to the Tuesday Musical Club Artist Series, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
The Tuesday Musical Club for ladies was founded by Anna Hertzberg in 1901, after the classically trained pianist followed her husband from New York City to San Antonio. During its first year, six members met to perform classical favorites for each other. Membership quickly grew, and in 1923 the club produced its first annual concerts, then called. The group raised money for the construction of its clubhouse, built in 1949 at 3755 N. St. Mary’s Street in Brackenridge Park, where it stands today.
“This group of women were very progressive in their approach to presenting music and musicians,” she said. “The women of Tuesday Musical Club that have planned the artists series over the decades have been very forward thinking,” helping young artists at the beginning of their careers and supporting them through their careers.
