Tampa Bay’s Original Performing Arts Center
Celebrating a century
of beautiful music—
and the movements yet to come.
Before the Tampa Bay area had grand concert halls and performing arts centers, there was Friday Morning Musicale—a home for exceptional live performance, artistic discovery, and community since 1927.

A Tampa landmark
Tampa’s arts heritage
lives in every note.
Our Mediterranean Revival clubhouse and auditorium has stood at the center of Tampa’s cultural and civic life since opening in 1927.
The Musicale began by presenting solo vocal performances and leading artists to a growing Tampa. Within its first decade, it organized the city’s first choral group, staged operas, and introduced an amateur dramatic society. As Tampa Bay’s original performing arts center, it remains a place where heritage opens the door to new artistry.

Instruments worthy of the room
Two Steinway
grand pianos.
Performances are held in our historic 385-seat auditorium, renowned for its superb acoustics and graced by two magnificent new Steinway grand pianos. Following each concert, guests are invited to share in a luncheon, continuing the spirit of community and artistry that defines our tradition.
