"At IIMIF, musicians are challenged to improve not only their playing ability, ​but their mental and physical connection to the notes as well." 
​-The Frederick News Post

​​Founded in 2003, IIMIF has been lauded as an exceptional summer solo and chamber music program for string players and pianists. ​With a maximum enrollment of 25 on-campus students each year, we offer a uniquely individual approach that is both challenging and supportive. ​Our interdisciplinary curriculum has been crafted to give young musicians an array of experiences that will elevate musicianship and artistic confidence. Participants have credited their IIMIF with technical, musical, and personal growth that has extended far into their studies and careers.

The IIMIF Program

A review of our 2021 session:

In 2021, participants joined in-person and online from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, California, Missouri, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, Virginia, Florida, Brazil, and China. Over the course of two weeks, we all connected with each other through daily workshops and yoga sessions, chamber music rehearsals, weekly masterclasses and performances, and lessons with our incredible faculty members.
