The mission of Matinee Musicale Cincinnati is to serve and delight the community by presenting emergent talent in the field of classical music to the people of Cincinnati. We present a seasonal program of four recitals annually, each program highlighting the finest up-and-coming vocalists or instrumentalists chosen by our active and knowledgeable members.

Each concert will last 70 minutes with no intermission.

View each program on this website before every concert.

Meet and greet the musicians following each performance.

The Matinee Musicale Club began in 1911 when a group of Cincinnati women, all performing musicians, presented five public concerts in each of the first two seasons. In 1913 the organization began to engage professional recitalists selected world wide, and thereby inaugurated the Matinee Musicale Recital Series. Many of the distinguished musicians presented to this community have made their Cincinnati, and even American debuts under Matinee Musicale auspices.

The standard of musical excellence established by the founders of Matinee Musicale Cincinnati has continued uninterrupted since the inception of the recital series, thanks to the dedication of the active members, who have continued to work to present, on a non-profit basis, only the finest of musical talent. Careful consideration is given to selection and presentation of artists; and, in return, the public has given interested support and recognition of the cultural contributions the Matinee Musicale has provided our community.
