313-520-8663Tuesday Musicale of Detroit
We're a classical music organization devoted to bringing the best in the live performance of classical music to Detroit area audiences since 1885. Please scroll down for current information.
Tuesday Musicale begins the New Year with an absolutely fascinating program on January 14.
If you’ve never heard of a Chinese instrument called the erhu, Tuesday January 14 will be your opportunity to find out about it. It’s a bowed two-stringed Chinese instrument, and Xiao Dong Wei is a dazzling performer on this instrument.
Also on the program will be an outstanding up- and-coming virtuoso pianist Forrest Howell, saxophonist Chris DeLouis in his debut performance with Tuesday Musicale, Student Leaguer pianist John Chisholm, and a piano trio led by Maria Lord-Kniveton who will be presenting one of her own original compositions.
All in all, a rich variety of music in a concert you will not want to miss.
That’s Tuesday January 14 at 10:30 a.m. at Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church, 211 Moross in Grosse Pointe Farms.
Please join me at this concert which, I can promise you, is one that will be long remembered.

About The Tuesday Musicale of Detroit In the year 1885, twelve women pianists met to form a club wherein they would have an opportunity to perform for one another in order to maintain their professional performance skills. Little did they know of the group's future and how it would sustain itself for 139 years to date and that it would eventually come to be known as The Tuesday Musicale of Detroit. Today, The Tuesday Musicale of Detroit continues the legacy of the original founders by presenting the finest in professional concerts and contributing in various ways to the music community.
