Student Scholarship Contest The focal point of the Music Club is the annual Student Scholarship Contest and Recital. The Music Club has sponsored the contest since 1949. Due to the pandemic the Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Music Club will not be holding any in-person club meetings until February 2021. Sadly, our 2021 Scholarship Contest is cancelled, as well. Hopefully we will be able to resume our normal activities early next year. 2020 Contest Results Junior Winds

From September through May, the Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Music Club presents monthly programs featuring members and guest musicians. Monthly programs are held in both member homes and larger venues like churches and retirement communities. Performances at meetings typically include solos and ensembles featuring orchestra instruments and voice. Presentations have also included piano-four-hands, organ, harpsichord, harp, period instruments, and the premiere of a member’s composition. |
