Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to the Southern California Music Festival Club. We are a grassroots association of music teachers, students, parents, and music enthusiasts dedicated to promoting music and music education in our local community. As a member of our local club, you are also part of the California Federation of Music Clubs (CFMC) and the National Federation of Music Clubs (NFMC). Our mission is to promote American composers, music education, and music performances while providing opportunities for musicians of all ages and abilities to learn, perform, serve, and grow.
This year marks a special milestone for our club as we celebrate our 20th Annual Federation Music Festival, a tradition that has brought students, teachers, and families together through the joy of music for two decades. This year also marks the 250th anniversary of the United States, and we are proud to celebrate 250 years of American musical heritage through our Fall Festival and Parade of American Music celebrations, honoring the composers and music that have helped shape our nation.
Our Junior Leadership Group provides students with meaningful opportunities to develop leadership skills and serve their community through music. As members of NFMC, our students are part of an organization with a long history of service through music. Founded in 1898, NFMC is the world’s largest philanthropic music organization dedicated to supporting American music and musicians. NFMC is also one of only three music organizations chartered by the United States Congress and the only music organization affiliated with the United Nations. Student leaders embrace this legacy by supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, helping lead the way toward a better and more musical future for all.
Our club encourages students to stay engaged in music throughout the year through non-competitive Fall and Spring Federation Festivals, as well as our Fall Junior Music Competition and Spring Young Artist Competition. These programs provide opportunities for students to learn, perform, and grow as musicians,
We are grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you throughout the year at our club events. For upcoming events and opportunities, visit www.scvmusic.org. Learn more about CFMC at www.ca-fmc.org and NFMC at www.nfmc-music.org.
Sincerely,
Virginia Feitelson
