The
Wednesday Club for the Performing Arts, the oldest continuously operating music
organization in the United States, was organized on May 17, 1882 and
incorporated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in 1915.
In September, 2008, this unique organization will begin it 127th
season of showcasing its performing members in recitals and its 122nd
season of presenting renowned artists on a subscription series, a series
presented at the Forum Auditorium in Harrisburg since 1931.
Its mission has remained intact since 1882:
to promote and support the performance of classical music and to make
classical music accessible to people of all walks of life.
The Wednesday Club has been especially vigilant in promoting and
supporting young people in their musical pursuits. .
