Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. From ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM has been there for its members. And now there are more benefits available to AFM members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund, excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians. Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal. The AFM can negotiate agreements and administer contracts, procure valuable benefits and achieve legislative goals. A single musician has no such power.

The AFM has a proud history of managing change rather than being victimized by it. We find strength in adversity, and when the going gets tough, we get creative - all on your behalf.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you will determine these directions through your interest and involvement. Your membership card will be your key to participation in governing your union, keeping it responsive to your needs and enabling it to serve you better. To become a member now, visit www.afm.org/join.

Classified Advertising Policy

Audition Advertising

Auditions are advertised monthly in the International Musician.  All audition ads from US or Canadian symphony orchestras in the International Musician must be covered by an AFM collective bargaining agreement. 

  • Orchestra management must submit the ad information and contract size to the International Musician office by the 10th of the month prior to the month to be published (i.e., June 10 for the July issue).  
  • The AFM.org website has an Audition Date Scheduler feature to help orchestra management avoid scheduling conflicts with other orchestras. AFM SSD Contract Administrator Laurence Hofmann <lhofmann@afm.org> can provide access to new advertisers.   NOTE: Any audition deposit, meant to ensure a candidate’s appearance at an audition, must be fully refundable upon the candidates’ appearance or timely cancellation. 
  • The IM  will email/fax orchestra management a formatted proof of each audition ad. It is the responsibility of the orchestra management to then forward the formatted ad to their AFM local office for approval by the president/secretary-treasurer. Each advertiser is responsible for ensuring that ads submitted for publication conform to all legal requirements.
  • All symphonic audition ads must be approved by the AFM local that has jurisdiction over the orchestra. If there are any issues/problems with the position advertised or the language in the ad, it’s up to the local officers and the orchestra management to resolve the conflict before the ad will be published in the International Musician. 
  • The IM must receive confirmation/approval from the AFM local that the ad is approved prior to its publication (military, training/educational, and foreign orchestras are exempt from this approval policy).
  • As a service to members, audition ads are also posted in a searchable database in the members’ section of the AFM.org  website.

Classified Display Ads 

These ads include Military, Training/Educational, Festivals, and Foreign Orchestras. Foreign Orchestras are approved to advertise in the IM with the disclaimer that these positions are outside the jurisdiction of the AFM protections and that AFM Members interested in these positions should only apply after proper research.  

All display advertisers are subject to the publisher’s discretion and must be in good standing with no pending complaints by AFM locals, officers, or members. 

All advertisements are subject to acceptance by the publisher. The publisher will not accept advertisements that are illegal, discriminatory, defamatory, or an infringement on a third party’s rights. The International Musician has the right to refuse or edit any ad copy deemed inappropriate or offensive. All ads must be consistent with union values. 

All advertisers must agree to indemnify and hold harmless the IM and the AFM in the event an ad accepted for publication is later found to have violated requirements established by law.
