      <image:title>History - Our 100 year journey</image:title>
      <image:caption>On January 25, 1911, forty well-educated and socially prominent young Houston ladies met in the home of Mrs. James A. Baker and formed the Girls Musical Club (later to be named the Tuesday Musical Club). The purpose of the new organization was to further the members’ musical knowledge through study and to perform music for one another. The legendary Miss Ima Hogg, was the second president of the club and a founder of the Houston Symphony in 1914, was among the members. This new organization quickly gained prestige and a prominent position in Houston society. The tradition of bi-weekly meetings begun at these first meetings in 1911 is still maintained by the club today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Season - Matthew Delevoryas October 22, 2025, at noon</image:title>
      <image:caption>Matthew Delevoryas is a modern day Renaissance man who likes to explore the medieval quadrivium - mathematics, geometry, music and astronomy.  Each pillar was considered a version of music (music in space, music in time, etc).  An avid listener to classical music, Matt marched as a clarinetist in the Marching Owl Band at Rice University, where he received his degree in Mathematics.  A creative problem solver, he worked for many years as a systems programmer on mainstream computers.  A passionate sport fencer, he trained to become one of the few Level 1 armorers in the United States, the highest qualification to repair the electrical scoring equipment and weapons.  He currently works for Salle Mauro, Houston Athletic Fencing Center, and Alliance Fencing of San Francisco in this capacity.  Matt recognizes kindred spirits in the famous classical composers who also nurtured their love of fencing, botany, chemistry, astronomy and chess.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Deborah Moran was a member of the Houston Symphony violin section for 27 years.  She first started studying violin in Midland, TX but credits the extensive music education in Houston, TX after she moved here at the age of 12 for steering her in that direction for a career.  In Houston she studied with Houston Symphony violinist Elizabeth Mosny and was concertmaster of the Texas All-State Orchestra in 1974.  She studied with Stephen Clapp at the University of Texas for two years before moving on to Juilliard at his suggestion to finish her BM and MM under Ivan Galamian and Margaret Pardee.  After a short period of freelancing in Houston she joined the Symphony in 1983 and remained until 2010. Currently she is co-programmer for the Houston Tuesday Musical Club along with pianist Gayle Martin. Outside of music, she is an active amateur astronomer involved in outreach, a telescope operator at the George Observatory in Brazos Bend State Park and a light pollution activist with an educational website called www.softlighthouston.com.  She also loves all things space and aviation and moonlighted as a NASA test subject for a number of years including participating in simulated zero-G flights.</image:caption>
