Solo & Chamber Music Program
Concert Series
The Friday Morning Music Club offers free, classical chamber music concerts from September through June throughout the DC metropolitan area at 15+ venues. These hour-long programs feature a variety of instrumental and vocal ensembles performing an eclectic repertoire ranging from well-known favorites to rarely heard gems across the centuries—including the 21st!
These programs—and the programs on our Composers Series—feature the Club’s Solo and Chamber Performance Members, skilled professional and amateur musicians admitted via FMMC’s audition process. Performance Members may include guest musicians in their performances. Our Student Members who have received awards through FMMC’s local student competitions may perform in FMMC’s student recitals throughout the year. All performance members value this opportunity to volunteer their talents, in keeping with the Club’s public service mission.
Performance Application
The 2024-25 Performance Application is closed.
If you are an auditioned FMMC Performance Member who wishes to perform in one of FMMC’s Chamber Program concerts this season, please contact the Program Director at chamber@fmmc.org for information about possible performance openings.
