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.

Philadelphia Orchestra Begins In-Person Concerts in the Fall

  -  

The Philadelphia Orchestra has announced that it will perform for live audiences at Verizon Hall this fall. The concerts will be about one hour long with no intermission. Only about half of the hall will be sold, in pods of two, three, and four, to allow for social distancing. Ensemble sizes will be limited as well. 

Opening night will take place on October 5 with cellist Yo-Yo Ma of Local 802 (New York City). The orchestra’s schedule has been planned through December 31, and features diverse repertoire and guest artists. 

Among other changes, the orchestra’s dress will be different in the new season. The traditional white ties and tails will be replaced with the all-black attire that has been worn for digital performances over the past year. In addition, the Philadelphia Orchestra plans to incorporate more multimedia elements and lighting into its performances. 

This summer, Philadelphia Orchestra musicians, represented by Local 77 (Philadelphia, PA), will travel to Vail, Colorado, and Saratoga, New York, for live performances, in addition to welcoming back live audiences locally for outdoor concerts at the Mann Music Center.
