Last Month at the Local

Several Music Performance Trust Fund concerts took place in our jurisdiction this past month.

In cooperation with the National Council on Aging, four concerts will take place at Palm Beach County senior centers this summer. Also, MPTF is helping fund concerts at the Miami Dade Public Library main branch this summer. For those not familiar with the MPTF, the Fund provides grants to fund live, free concerts that are open to the public. If you would like more information on applying for grants, please contact us.

The Local is in the process of surveying the activities in our community and YOU CAN HELP! We are compiling lists of where musicians work, from musical theaters to restaurants to recording studios to orchestras to clubs and beyond. You can help by sending us information on places that have live music: where they are, what kind of music they have, how often they have music, etc. You can send the information to info[at]afm655[dot]org. The survey will help us get a picture of how much and what type of work is in our community, and also help us identify areas of concern for our members. Thanks in advance for your help!
