The International Conference of Symphony and Opera Musicians (ICSOM)[1] is a Players' Conference of the American Federation of Musicians (AFM)[2] In 1962, members of US and Canadian orchestras began to meet and discuss ways they could communicate with each other, drafted bylaws, and began pushing the AFM for formal recognition of ICSOM as a conference of the AFM. Actual conference status was not conferred upon ICSOM until 1969. ICSOM's example and successes over the years inspired other groups to organize into formal conferences as well – the (RMA)[3], the (ROPA)[4], and the Theatre Musicians Association (TMA)[5]. ICSOM's Canadian members left ICSOM when the (OCSM/OMOSC)[6] was formed in 1975.
