Collective representation touches the lives of every orchestra musician at a number of contact points. Although most musicians are aware of what “the union” is, they may not realize how many facets of the union directly influence their career. One of those contact points is the Local union.

In an effort to help professional orchestra musicians better understand the organizations which represent them David Angus, President & Secretary-Treasurer of the Rochester Musicians’ Association, Local 66 of the American Federation of Musicians, and hornist with the Rochester Philhamonic Orchestra, has written an introductory guide explaining what how Locals function within the American Federation of Musicians and how they connect with their respective orchestral musicians.
