The Athens Oconee Federation Festival will be held on April 27, 2024 at the UGA School of Music. This will be a hybrid festival that offers students the opportunity to perform in person or by submitted video links.
The registration deadline is April 13, 2024. If you are submitting videos, they are due by April 23.
Students enter two pieces. One selection is from a graded list that is published by the National Federation of Music Clubs. This list highlights American composer. The second piece is a choice composition that must match guidelines also outlined in the NFMC festival bulletin. To enter, the teacher must be a member of NFMC and GFMC.
