IMFA participants experience four weeks of collaborative music-making in the inspirational setting of Duino, Italy, along the coast of the Adriatic Sea. IMFA's renowned faculty members mentor participants in private lessons, workshops, and coaching sessions. Through master classes and numerous performances, IMFA students deepen their musicianship and technical skills and grow into the artists they aspire to be.
The cost for the 2024 program is $5,500. This includes tuition for all classes and lessons, plus lodging and meals from June 2 through June 29, 2024. Students are responsible for arranging and paying for their own travels to and from the festival. A limited number of scholarships are available. These awards are based on exceptional talent, financial need, and the needs of the overall program. All students who apply to the program are considered for a scholarship. Scholarship awards typically do not exceed $1,000.
Students may qualify to use financial aid through their home institutions to cover some of the costs of IMFA. Meet with a financial aid officer at your home institution to see if you might be able to use funds from your financial aid package. We also encourage all students to seek financial assistance from outside sources. Music clubs and organizations, youth orchestras, service clubs (e.g., Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.), businesses, and foundations may be willing to help. Be professional, creative, and start planning early!
