The Schubert Club was originally started in 1882 by Marion Ramsey Furness, daughter to Governor Ramsey. Now it has gained the reputation for presenting the world’s most prestigious musicians in recital. The museum is located at the Landmark Center. Schubert Club Concerts are held in various locations. The Music Museum is on the second floor of the Landmark Center and includes rare instruments and large sculptures of instruments. It was completely renovated during the 2020 closure to include fun and touchable, kid-friendly exhibits. New exhibits include: This museum keeps an interpretive guide on staff to provide tours. Groups of 5 or more are encouraged to call ahead. Schubert Club offers specifically family-friendly concerts on a regular basis. These include the KidsJam Workshops and Museum Minis. Although not specifically geared toward children (and largely attended by adults), the FREE courtroom concerts held at the Landmark center are open to the public and are short, one-hour performances. Children over the age of six are also welcome to enjoy any of other concerts. However, everyone requires a ticket and they can be pricey for a family on a budget. Purchase tickets through the box office or by calling 651.292.3268. Ticket prices vary by show and seating. The KidsJam Workshops are usually offered on weekdays during the school year and were originally created for homeschool families, but anyone can sign up to attend. These do tend to sell out fast though, so sign up early. Courtroom Concerts are held over the noon hour on Thursdays from October through April and feature a variety of guest artists. Complimentary coffee is served. These one-hour concerts often reach capacity, so we recommend getting there early if you are particularly excited about an artist. Related Articles:
