Tuesday 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 continues into the new year with a perennial favorite of its concert year: Its opera program, this year titled: “Opera with Many Faces”. The program will feature music by such beloved composers as Verdi, Wagner, Franz Lehar, Handel, and Sullivan, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. The G & S entry will be a parody of their “I’ve got a little list/ Of those who never would be missed”, and will be sung by Stan Harr, long-time baritone with the celebrated Detroit Concert Choir. The concert will be at St. Clare of Montefalco Church, 1401 Whittier (at Mack) in Grosse Pointe Park. 7:00 p.m. on Friday February 28.
If you’ve never seen a performance of eurythmy, February 28 will be your chance to do so. Eurythmist Claudia Fontana will be performing eurythmy to the stunningly beautiful Dvorak aria “Song to the Moon” from his opera Rusalka.
Also on the program will be the light opera Franz Lehar classic Mein Lippen (My lips) sung by Ukrainian soprano Olga Yalovenko.
Several other performances will be on the program to enchant and delight you; and if you come to this concert, I can promise you will not regret having attended. The concert is free.

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.
