Missouri Federation of Music Clubs

Music can change the world!

-Ludwig Von Beethoven


Welcome to the Missouri Federation of Music Clubs, founded in 1918. The MFMC is part of the National Federation of Music Clubs, which was founded in 1898. My name is Anne Gassel, and I am the current President of the MFMC.

Federation music clubs support and promote American music, performers, and music education, through their work with school-age children in the Junior Festival Program, music study programs, outreach into nursing homes, and performing for one another. We also have programs at the college level to assist music majors along their career path in perpetuating the arts. With over 25 clubs around the state for students and adults, we have something to offer everyone who loves music.

We invite you to connect with us and find out if one of our clubs will work for you and your musical goals. Thank you for your interest in the Missouri Federation of Music Clubs. 

MFMC represents over 25 clubs in the state of Missouri

We are dedicated to the purpose of encouraging music education, an appreciation of the arts, and fostering a musical environment in our communities through the sponsorship of musical events and competitions, and by providing performing opportunities for our talented and deserving young people.
