Genius of Music, (sculpture) - San Antonio, TX - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Founded in 1901, The Tuesday Musical Club is the oldest music club for women in the State of Texas. Each season a fresh field of concert artists is presented to our South Texas audiences, many of them for the first time. It is dedicated to the promotion, study, and performance of music as a fine art. The Tuesday Musical Club is located at 3755 N. St. Marys
Just outside the entrance to the Tuesday Musical Club, a red granite pedistol has a bronze nude boy with laurel on his head is seated atop the base while he plays his flute. His legs are crossed at the ankles and his hands are on the finger holes of a simple flute.
On the front of the four foot high base is inscribed the following:
(in middle of base)
"Genius of Music

Anna Hertzberg
Founder of Tuesday Musical Club
By her son
Harry Hertzberg
January 1951"

(at bottom edge of base)
"Sculptors
