For more than 125 years, Women’s Musical Club of Toronto (WMCT) has produced concerts and offered scholarships to young musicians.
In 1898 a group of women musicians and music lovers founded the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto (WMCT). By 1919 the club presented professional artists such as Ernest MacMillan and Harry Adaskin as well as varied ensembles. During the 1930s a special series of three concerts grossed $772.37 – the root of a scholarship fund which continues today supporting undergraduate scholarships, a graduate fellowship, and the national $25,000 Career Development Award. 125 years later it still enhances the cultural life of Toronto, sponsoring a recital series and providing performance opportunities and scholarships for young Canadian musicians. Over the years it changed from a “women only” club to an arts presenter welcoming everyone. Secondary and post-secondary music students, as well as new Canadians, are invited to attend Music in the Afternoon concerts free-of-charge.
