Programs and Meetings
The St. Cecilia Society meets once a month from October through May providing an opportunity for members and guest artists to perform. Meetings are held on Fridays at 1:00 PM or 7:00 PM or Sundays at 2:00 PM. Times vary to try to make it convenient for all to attend several meetings each year. Except in May when a luncheon follows the annual membership meeting and precedes the final performance of the year, receptions follow the performances where members and guests may greet the performers and enjoy refreshments.
The “performing members” at the regular programs are St. Cecilia members who have auditioned before paid judges who are not St. Cecilia Society members.
All programs are open to the public.
