  • A History of the Women's Musical Club of Winnipeg, 1894-2014
    “WITH EVERY NOTE PLAYED” A HISTORY OF 1894-2014 The original insignia of The Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg was designed, circa 1910. “WITH EVERY NOTE PLAYED” A HISTORY OF 1894-2014 BY KATHRYN A. YOUNG It is remarkable that virtually every musician wanting a professional career must study concertos and similar material to be performed with orchestra. But so very few have the opportunity to perform these works with any orchestra, let alone a professional one. That you [WMC] acknowledged this by putting in place a plan “”to serve such a valuable need and execute such a wonderful event speaks volumes about both your vision and that of your members. The WSO is honoured to be your partner. James Manishen, Artistic Director, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, 2006. FOREWORD “With Every Note Played” The Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg has been a strong force in the arts community for well over a century. Its volunteer board has actively contributed to the promotion of excellence in music by providing a stage for young Canadian artists, and by offering annual scholarships with, since 2006, the added bonus of the biennial WMC McLellan Competition for Solo Performance with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. As recorded in this updated history, the vision of the founders has been adapted to meet the challenges of world events and the inevitable changing social dynamics. The organization has relied on the strength of its working- board members to embrace change and to broaden its involvement in the musical community. The Women’s Musical Club of Winnipeg has been shaped over the last 120 years by the talents and commitment of the many women who have served in so many ways, and continues to build on that strength.
