A Mission to Share World-Class Chamber Music
Matinee Musicale provides musical programs to conduct artistic, cultural, educational, and charitable activities. Our concert season consists of four performances of young, rising artists. We also sponsor a College Scholarship Recital which features twelve talented musicians from each of the three local colleges: University of Wisconsin-Superior, College of St. Scholastica, and University of Minnesota-Duluth. The students are selected by their music department and receive a scholarship award from Matinee Musicale.
