Venice Musicale

Venice Musicale has been enriching the community through free public music performances and scholarships for next-generation musicians since 1951. It is a non-profit, non-sectarian membership organization dedicated to presenting quality music to the public free of charge and encouraging young area musicians by awarding scholarships for summer music camps, first-year college performance studies, or private lessons.

Venice Musicale offers many opportunities for local listeners to experience excellent music. Free hour-long concerts, usually presented on the third Thursday afternoon of each month from October through April, feature solo and ensemble performances by member and guest artists. Our Encore Chorus is featured in the December and March concerts. All programs are very diverse, featuring genres ranging from classical to popular, helping to generate support for our Scholarship Program through free-will offerings. Suncoast Duo-Pianists, a performing ensemble affiliated with Venice Musicale, also presents wonderfully entertaining four-hand piano programs as part of the Venice Musicale concert season. See the Concerts page on this website for time and location of each event.

The Encore Chorus and Suncoast Duo-Pianists are also perennial favorites of area organizations and residentail communities looking for quality entertainment. These Venice Musicale ensembles are available to be booked for performances between November and April each year.

Investing in the next generation of musicians through scholarship support has been the main emphasis of Venice Musicale’s mission for nearly seven decades. Scholarships are funded through tax-deductible donations made by audience members attending our free monthly concerts, individual mail-in and on-line donations, designated scholarships established by individual donors, as well as other contributions.

Venice Musicale welcomes music lovers of all ages and backgrounds to join us in our mission by becoming an Individual/Family Member. Venice area social, fraternal, business and professional organizations are also welcome to become Organizational Members. Venice Muslicale membership meetings occur 30 minutes prior to each monthly concert during the season.
