10 Years of Fighting for Musicians. One Night to Celebrate It All.

Musicians For Musicians (MFM) is turning 10—and you’re invited to be part of a milestone celebration unlike any other. This isn’t just a concert. It’s a movement. It’s a call to action. And it’s a night of unforgettable music, unity, and purpose.

Whether you’re a working musician, a passionate supporter of the arts, or someone who believes in fairness and dignity for creatives, this is the night to show up.

🌟 A Star-Studded Evening You Won’t Want to Miss

The highlight of the evening will be a special performance by the MFM Unity Ensemble, featuring Grammy Award-winning saxophonist Joe Lovano and 8x Latin Grammy-winning pianist and Afro Latin Jazz Alliance founder Arturo O’Farrill. Their collaboration will celebrate both MFM’s mission and the power of collective musical expression.

The event will also include remarks from MFM board members, Advisory Committee representatives, and video tributes from supporters like NEA Jazz Master David Liebman, Jazz in the Neighborhood founder Mario Guarneri, and legendary bassist Steve Swallow. Guests from the Recording Academy, Independent Musicians Alliance, Music Workers Alliance, and Local 802 will also be in attendance.

Later in the evening, there will be another special performance by New York’s Nu NO WAVE band SoSaLa—led by saxophonist/singer SoSaLa—featuring guitarist Mark C. (Live Skull) and drummer Andy Weintraub. Together, they will create music that transcends both rock and jazz.
