The Music Performance Trust Fund (MPTF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching communities across the United States and Canada by providing free, live musical performances by professional musicians. Established in 1948, the MPTF operates under a landmark agreement between the American Federation of Musicians and major recording companies. Through a royalty stream from these companies, the MPTF presents thousands of admission-free concerts annually, spanning various genres from classical to jazz, pop to Broadway. The MPTF's mission is to contribute to the public's appreciation of music, make music education accessible to every child, and bring the unifying power of live music to audiences of all backgrounds.
