The Advocacy and Government department of the League acts to improve policies that increase public access to orchestral music and supports orchestras as they advocate for the vitality of music in communities nationwide.

Advocacy is most effective when it starts at the community level. The League provides resources to empower orchestras to be champions for the presence of music in their communities, and supports orchestras as they work to strengthen their civic relationships.

Information at americanorchestras.org includes advocacy tools and tips, the latest news on emerging policy areas, announcements of federal funding opportunities, guides to federal rules and requirements for orchestras; advice on immigration issues, visas, and taxation; and tips for musicians traveling abroad.

Start now—take action on issues impacting orchestras today!
