WHO WE ARE:
The Rappahannock Music Study Club brings together musicians and non-musicians who share an interest in learning about and supporting an appreciation of music in all of its forms, ranging from jazz to classical and everything in between. The Club has been in existence for over 30 years, demonstrating its vibrant appeal. Many of our meetings include music that is performed live in small intimate settings. Members are encouraged to bring their friends and families.
