Picture
The National Federation of Music Clubs has declared the month of November as "American Music Month." The Professor Rudolf R. A. Schramm "Parade of American Music" honors its founder, Ada Holding Miller, by encouraging NFMC clubs to increase programming and performance of American music; to bring more recognition to American composers; to stimulate public appreciation and awareness of American music; and to broaden the knowledge of American music. The Parade encompasses all aspects of music and was established in 1987 by the widow of Professor Rudolf R. A. Schramm.
