Friday Evening Music Club

FEMC Open House Recital – Friday, May 15, 7:30PM
Campana Chapel, Pitt-Greensburg
150 Finoli Dr, Greensburg
Free and Open to the Public

Get To Know Your Friday Evening Music Club with an Evening of Great Performances

On Friday May 15, come join us in Campana Chapel on the campus of Pitt-Greensburg for a concert given by and for our Westmoreland county community. We are looking forward to many of our members returning the stage, and especially for so many new performers offering music for the first time. Keep an eye here for the full program, here soon.

The Friday Evening Music Club was founded in 1944 to promote the performing arts in Westmoreland County and give musicians a place to practice and socialize. It is a community of area musicians, some of whom are private music teachers, but many who work in other fields and enjoy music-making as an avocation. 

We sponsor five recitals per year, with members sharing music performance with each other.  Some club members simply enjoy being part of the organization by attending the concerts. And we always have some coffee and sweets after!

You are invited to become part of our music community. Come see what we are all about in this special Open House recital. We welcome your performance, your support, and your friendship in the club. Connect with those who love this music and the people who make it. Meet area teachers. Enjoy benefits and members-only events, including at Westmoreland Symphony concerts.

Join us Friday 5/15 to find out more about the club and to hear a great show. We hope you will consider becoming part of our club!



“There’s really no other [group] like it. It allows you to make connections, it allows you to meet people that you would not ordinarily meet.” ~ Matt Klumpp, member and pianist

Mission

To draw area performers and audiences for shared artistic programs and camaraderie, and to encourage excellence in young musicians through performance and scholarship.

About the Friday Evening Music Club

FEMC was founded in 1944 to promote the performing arts in Westmoreland County and give musicians a place to practice and socialize. It is a community of area musicians, some of whom are private music teachers, but many who work in other fields and enjoy music-making as an avocation. Some club members simply enjoy being part of the organization by attending the concerts; the concerts are open to members and non-members alike.

In 1969, FEMC’s leadership helped to found the Westmoreland Symphony. Reuniting with them fosters the musical growth of our shared community, with mutual support, stability, and strength. We have common interests and common fellowship, but also provide unique avenues into the experience and sharing of great classical music. We now celebrate our shared roots and come back home to be together again.

Venues

Admission is free to club members and voluntary donations are accepted from non-members at the door.
