Musicians For Musicians (MFM), a nonprofit association advocating for the rights, recognition, and fair pay of freelance and independent musicians, proudly announces its 10-Year Anniversary Celebration on Friday, September 5, at The Cutting Room in New York City.

Over the past decade, MFM has united musicians across genres and geographies under a single mission: to raise music from a passion to a profession through advocacy, education, and solidarity. From educational webinars and podcasts to championing the Freelance Isn’t Free Act and amplifying national campaigns for fair streaming royalties and AI protections, MFM has been a driving force in elevating music as a profession.

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

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.
