The MUSIC CLUB of Reading-Berks
On Dec. 11, 1904, Miss Viola Johnson, a music teacher residing at 205 Oley
St., Reading, called 12 musicians to her home for the purpose of planning
monthly musicals for the pleasure and benefit of the partipants, and to
create among them a feeling of musical brotherhood.
Thus was established the Music Club of Reading-Berks, dedicated to the support
and enjoyment of music and musicianship.
In the years since, virtually every local classically-inclined major musical
talent has held membership at some point - including two stars of the Metropolitan
Opera and a world-class flutist, pianist, harpist, and conductor.
