About the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook |
The Monday Musical Club of Tillamook (MMCT) was formed on
October 10, 1920 when Mrs. Edwin E. Koch, a music teacher, invited a
group of ladies to her home for the purpose of studying the
"history of music. The formal organization of the Monday Musical
Club of Tillamook didn't occur until two years later in 1922. The
initial 12 ladies of the MMCT grew and changed over the years, but the biggest change came in 1994 when they took on the challenge of bringing the Oregon Symphony to Tillamook County.

Since then, the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook has become a well known presenting company with an annual season of 4 events and 1 or 2 special events.
The Monday Musical Club of Tillamook has a history of not just providing an entertaining calendar of performers, but also incorporating the visits of these artists into the local
Kindergarten - 12th grade educational programs in the Tillamook School Districts.
Funds raised by the Monday Musical Club of Tillamook are used
to sponsor master classes for Tillamook music students and also to fund scholarships for the winners of the club’s annual talent competition.
