FAMIL: Giving Luxembourg’s musicians a louder voice

Luxembourg’s music scene is alive with energy and now its performers have a stronger voice to match. FAMIL - Fédération des Musicien(ne)s Interprètes au Luxembourg - or simply FAMIL for short, is the country’s very own performers’ association, created to support, defend, and celebrate the people who make the music happen.

Whether you play in a band, perform in an orchestra, or bring songs to life in the studio, FAMIL is there to make sure your talent gets the recognition and protection it deserves. In short, they’re the ones helping Luxembourg’s musicians be heard, on stage and off it.

So, what exactly is FAMIL?

FAMIL is all about making life better for performing musicians. The association acts as both a community hub and an advocate, tackling everything from fair pay to visibility in the cultural landscape.

Their mission hits all the right notes:

• Rights & representation: FAMIL stands up for musicians in discussions with institutions, the media, and the wider music industry, making sure performers get fair treatment and proper credit for their work.

• Better working conditions: From fair contracts to decent pay and support both on stage and in the studio, FAMIL pushes for a more professional and sustainable environment for artists.

• Networking & collaboration: The group creates spaces where musicians can connect, collaborate, and share ideas, because great music often starts with great conversations.

• Raising recognition: Beyond the legal and practical side, FAMIL wants performing artists to take their rightful place in Luxembourg’s cultural spotlight.
  

And their cheeky tagline “We make the noise” says it all. It’s equal parts pride, purpose, and playful power.
