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.

Perlman Awarded Genesis Prize

  -  

Violinist and Local 802 (New York City) member Itzhak Perlman has been selected as the 2016 Genesis Prize Laureate. The annual $1million award is given to individuals who have achieved extraordinary professional success, have made a significant contribtion to humanity, and inspire others through their engagement and dedication to the Jewish community and the State of Israel. Previous awardees include Michael Bloomberg, as well as Michael Douglas.

Genesis Prize Chair and Co-Founder Stan Polovets describes why Perlman is an ideal Genesis Prize Laureate: “A 16-time Grammy award winner, he has been an incredible source of inspiration for individuals with special needs by overcoming tremendous challenges after having been severely disabled by polio at age four. And he has given back to society by dedicating virtually all of his free time and significant resources to teaching young talented musicians and to serving as an advocate for individuals with disabilities.”

Perlman was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last November. He says that he plans to direct the $1 million prize money to initiatives he is passionate about.
