Mission and Vision

Through live orchestral performances, American Music Festivals (AMF) promotes cultural exchange and American music in the United States and abroad.

AMF believes that through collaboration with presenters, educational institutions, and like-minded civic organizations, live classical music performances serve to bring people together and create greater understanding. AMF strives to achieve these goals through cultural exchange programming which demonstrates inclusiveness, allowing opportunities for artists to share their talents with diverse communities and underserved audiences.

With concerts on the world's major stages, and community based programming directed at outreach and education, AMF has the possibility to make a difference in every person's life on our planet. AMF facilitates classical music programming through administrative cooperation and artistic leadership.

AMF's cultural achievements lead directly to new business initiatives, improved international relations, humanitarian efforts, and meaningful philanthropy. AMF believes that all artistic projects, regardless of size, are possible through effective communication.

As a U.S. nonprofit corporation we ask--"What is it to be American, and what does this mean today?" While being sensitive to the traditions and history of people from all backgrounds, AMF programs repertoire and artists representative of the finest of our American classical and popular culture.
