Thursday Afternoon Music Club Mabel & Milo Wright Music Scholarship

Since its creation in the early 1900s, the Saturday Afternoon Music Club has been an organization devoted to the study and performance of music. The members recognized the need for creating scholarships and, more than 50 years ago, awarded its first annual scholarship to a young bass-baritone student.

Now known as the Thursday Afternoon Music Club, the group continues to provide support, not only for students, but for the entire music community. Students receiving its scholarships perform an annual concert each spring, allowing club members a chance to view the rewards of their contributions.

In 1984, the club established the Mabel & Milo Wright Music Scholarship with a matched gift from Mr. and Mrs. Wright. Mr. Wright was responsible for the creation of the highly effective ‘The Wright-Way’ piano aids, which members of the Thursday Afternoon Music Club still use in teaching. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wright passed away in May 1993. Through their scholarship, they continue their dedication to helping deserving and talented musicians follow their dreams.
