Lisker Music Foundation was created and founded in 2001 in Northbrook, Illinois.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn the language of music, and the art of performance.
LMF's aim is to bring together the expertise and resources of music teachers and other professionals, so they may inspire the younger generation of musicians through lessons, concerts, and competitions.

Through our programs, projects, and events, LMF will provide assistance to enlarge the love of playing, learning, and listening to music of all types. We believe this mentoring helps further enhance their talents, while strengthening the music community as well.
