Tuesday Musical Club String Ensemble

TUESDAY MUSICAL CLUB
STRING ENSEMBLE

The Tuesday Musical Club String Ensemble was organized in 1928. It is the only string orchestra in the Pittsburgh area and the only ensemble with daytime rehearsals and performances. In previous years, it included occasional woodwinds and was called the Instrumental Ensemble. It currently has 30 members and is directed by Paul Critser. The String Ensemble rehearses every Monday at 12:30 P.M. at Shadyside Presbyterian Church on Amberson Avenue near Fifth Avenue. The Ensemble presents two public concerts each year as well as programs at nursing homes and retirement centers.
