Downers Grove Music Club (DGMC) is a nonprofit musical arts organization founded in 1927 in Downers Grove, Illinois. We believe the arts support vibrant communities, and we aspire to connect people to the musical arts and local artists through public concerts and education programs. DGMC also makes investments that strengthen musical arts development in our schools and community.
Each year DGMC offers free public concerts; sponsors a piano festival for local students; and recognizes talented high school students with music awards to help them further their studies.
DGMC also publishes a Directory of Music Teachers and a List of Accompanists, which is updated every two years and distributed to all area schools, libraries and music stores.
Our members include performing musicians (professional and amateur), music teachers, music students and non-performing music lovers. Members receive newsletters, special announcements, and a members directory. Membership is also open to ensembles and organizations, which benefit from increased visibility in the community through our members, events and website.
An enjoyable variety of classical music - solo piano, instrumentals and voice - performed by DGMC musicians before we break for summer. DGMC elections will follow the program. RSVP
The Benefit House Concert on March 23rd was a huge success! The music was exceptional, ticket sales exceeded expectations, the food and drink were plentiful and delicious, and everyone had a great time. Early results indicate we made our goal to fully fund the high school level music awards, which total $4400. Thanks everyone for a terrific event! See the photos >
