Our Federation is dedicated to the betterment of music in the Peoria/Galesburg area. We represent some of the finest musicians in central Illinois, and through our website we hope you will get to know us. Our years of experience in performance and education provide a unique insight into the art of creating music. Here you can get aquainted with us, browse our GoPro referral service, and see where we are performing. We hope you have a good visit with us, and that we are able to express to you the importance of live music performance and education in our community. Our site is new, so keep coming back to see us grow.

Remember that it's our love of music that causes us to band together into this Federation of kindred spirits, and that our fondest wish is that you are able to experience the joy of music with us.
