Biographical / Historical

The Musical Club of Hartford is a nonprofit organization open to performers and appreciators of classical music in the Greater Hartford area. It was founded in 1891 by Frances Hall Johnson and a group of fellow women who shared a love of music. Membership remained limited to women until 1983, and in 2000, the organization dissolved the distinciton between members and associate members and allowed non-performers to become members. The organization presents concerts by members and guests and also provides scholarships for young musicians. The Musical Club of Hartford celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2016.
