Louisiana Federation of Music Clubs


 Federation Festivals


The Junior Federation Festivals is a wonderful Federation opportunity that encourages performance and musical growth.  Participants perform and receive an evaluation rated on individual merits.  This encourages a high standard of achievement while stimulating interest in American and world music literature.  Sponsored by the National Federation of Music Clubs, the Gold Cup Awards keep the Junior members focused on continuing their musical training and to reach a high standard of of musical achievement. 
 
For the year 2022-2023, NFMC is requiring that all Festivals records be kept using the Vivace online Festivals management system.  If your sponsoring area has not yet been set up in Vivace you need to contact Kay Hawthorne (bkhaw@cox.net) or Mark Vile (markvile@cox.net) for instructions on how to start using the Vivace system.

Each Junior Counselor/Teacher is required to be a member of a Senior Club, and their students are required to be members of a Junior Club.  To join, please contact the Senior Club in your area.  Senior Clubs are listed on the "Senior Music Clubs" page on this website.
