Musical Art Society of Lancaster
Founded in 1916, the Musical Art Society
of Lancaster is a performing and service
musical organization comprised of professional
and non-professional musicians.
Since 1920 we have been affiliated with the National
Federation of Music Clubs, the world's largest
musical organization. NFMC is dedicated to
finding and fostering musical talent, championing
American music and American artists, sponsoring
National Music Week annually the first full
week of May, and promoting the "Crusade
for Strings." The Musical Art
Society promotes these national objectives
locally, and has received many Awards of
Merit from N.F.M.C.
The Musical Art Society of Lancaster sponsors
the following:
** The Workshop
for Young Performing Artists
** The Lancaster
County Music Camp
** The Lancaster
County Youth Symphony
** The Lancaster
County Junior Orchestra
** Many scholarships
for young musicians
We are musically involved all year. Our membership
meetings are held October through May, combined
with a special musical program or concert
which follows the business session. We also
have a summer concert series usually in June.
We welcome performing musicians as well as
those who are appreciative of good music.
Membership is obtained through one sponsor,
and approval of the Executive Board. Information
is available from Emma Herr at (717) 394-1200,
or Jeanne Marie Donley at (717) 393-2574.
