Celebrate National Music Week: "Music is...Unstoppable" - May 4-11, 2025
All festivals are organized and run by CFMC members and volunteers
Students must study with a current CFMC teacher in order to participate in the NFMC Festival Program
The NFMC Festivals Program is designed to give Junior (age 18 and younger) and Adult member musicians of all abilities the opportunity to perform and receive a yearly evaluation in a non-competitive environment. Participation in NFMC Festivals promotes music study, stimulates interest in the musical literature of both the USA and the world, and encourages each participant to reach a high standard of musical achievement. The NFMC Festivals Cup Award Plan and Honor Certificates offer additional incentives to encourage continued participation in NFMC Festivals.
