About
First Monday of the Month since 1913 ...
The Monday Musicale, Inc. is a not-for-profit, educational, and charitable corporation, established in Toledo, Ohio in 1913. It was organized by a group of women musicians to encourage the development of the musical talent of its members, to stimulate community interest in music and to award scholarships to young students of music.
The founders were some of the finest teachers of musical instruments in the Toledo area. Mildred Harding, charter member, taught and performed in Toledo until her death in 1943. The Monday Musicale was named as the heir to her small estate and has funded her string scholarship since that time.Over the years, other members and their families have established scholarships… Bernice MacNab, Margaret Stone, Betty Swift, Betty Foster, Esther Gartz, Dorothy Price, Betty Burke, to name a few.Today, members, guests, and the public still gather on the first Monday of the month to enjoy fine music performed by members of The Monday Musicale and guest musicians.
