About
The Sacramento Saturday Club was organized on December 9, 1893. It remains the oldest musical organization in Sacramento – and one of the oldest west of the Rockies.
Our Mission
When established in 1893, the Sacramento Saturday Club’s fundamental mission was to promote and sustain the Sacramento area’s need and love for the greatest of the arts — music. The club continues to do this by providing monthly concert performances in member’s homes and supporting developing young musicians.
The Sacramento Saturday Club raises and awards scholarship money to the area’s talented music students, both instrumental and vocal, with the goal of furthering their musical careers. It also provides ample opportunities for its members to meet fellow lovers of music, listeners and performers alike, on a social level.
Our Objectives:
- Administer scholarship programs for the support and encouragement of promising young musicians.
- Stimulate public interest in local music and musicians.
- Improve the cultural life of the community.
The Saturday Club welcomes visitors and guests to their monthly meetings and encourages them to become members, either as a performer or as an associate member (non-performing member.)
