The National Federation of Music Clubs Festivals (Contact is Natalie Steinbach)
The National Federation of Music Clubs Festivals program is designed to promote musical study, to stimulate interest in American and world music literature, and to encourage each participant to reach a high standard of musical achievement. The Festival is not a competition but an opportunity to perform and receive evaluation. Students who enter must study with a teacher who is a member of the NFMC and who federates her class into a Junior Club allowing students to participate in the Festival.
Festival is February 26 - 27, 2010 at Manassas Baptist Church, 8800 Sudley Road, Manassas VA 20110
