read moreOur history began in 1896 when musicians gathered in Indianapolis and organized the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) for "any musician who receives pay for his musical services." Representing 3,000 members, AFM was granted a charter by the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Wherever there was music, there were musicians organizing in the early 20th century-in theaters, restaurants, night clubs, hotel ballrooms, amusement parks, carnivals, symphonies, operas, ballets and increasingly at theaters as accompaniment for silent films.
