A globe patterned with music notes,Tuesday Musical's logo illustrates our focus on bringing the world’s best music to Akron and Northeast Ohio.
This ambitious focus has made Tuesday Musical a core arts organization in Akron and one of the oldest and most-respected organizations of our kind in the United States.
Global greats on our series over the past 130 years include Vladimir Horowitz, Imani Winds, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Itzhak Perlman, Marilyn Horne, James Galway, Jascha Heifetz, Renée Fleming, Augustine Hadelich, So Percussion, Vienna Boys Choir, Wynton Marsalis, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, and so many more.
Just as important, our vibrant Education and Community Engagement Programs have expanded access to world-class musicians for students and adults throughout the region — thus inspiring current and future generations of music lovers. Last season alone, these programs reached more than 5,000 people of all ages.
We’re committed to programming that is artistically excellent and significant, and we’re looking forward to sharing more of the world’s best with you!

The Finest Concerts
Tuesday Musical presents three concert series, all with related Education and Community Engagement activities:
1) Tuesday Musical’s MainStage series features six concerts annually by nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians. Over the years we have presented Yo Yo Ma, Vladimir Horowitz, Imani Winds, Marilyn Horne, James Galway, Renee Fleming, Itzhak Perlman, Ann Hampton Callaway, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Bell, and many more. Most of these concerts take place at E. J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall in Akron, and feature Concert Conversations with the musicians that help to inform and engage our audiences.
2) FUZE series concerts, three each season, engage audiences in unexpectedly delightful ways, often in smaller venues throughout the community.
3) An antidote to workplace stress, our Decompression Chamber series, launched in mid-2017, brings free chamber music concerts to employees and clients at high-pressure sites throughout the city — hospitals, financial institutions, government offices, factories, social service agencies, and more.
Engaging our Community throughout NE Ohio
In tandem with our concerts, Tuesday Musical engages people of all ages and backgrounds within and beyond the concert hall by providing an array of free Education and Community Engagement Programs. More than 5,000 students and adults benefit from these programs every year.
· Every season, Tuesday Musical’s guest artists also teach, perform and inspire during multi-day visits to K-12 schools, universities, libraries, retirement communities, workplaces and more.

· Tuesday Musical covers the cost of bus transportation for schools and groups bringing more than 20 students to any concert or engagement activity.
· Brahms Allegro, Tuesday Musical’s junior music club, encourages young musicians to develop their skills, perform for their peers, and compete in regional competitions.
