American Composers Forum

At American Composers Forum, we believe a just world can be shaped through the shared human experience of living music.

For nearly 50 years, ACF has worked to cultivate an ecosystem that values living artists and music of our time. We believe living composers are essential storytellers, connectors, and curators of experiences that evoke emotions and change us. 

Yet music creators are often undervalued and underrepresented in our musical ecosystem. In fact, among professional artists, composers are one of the few who don’t have a dedicated union representing their interests.

But, composers are not alone. Music creators turn to ACF for essential resources, opportunities, and advocacy to support their creative journeys. 

When you give to ACF, you are investing in our community of living composers.
