Founded in 1997, the International Musical Arts Institute/Festival of Fryeburg, Maine, is a summer community of classically trained musicians, who range from young professionals and career-bound advanced-level conservatory students to established artists with international reputations. Over the years IMAI has attracted more than two hundred artist/musicians representing some thirty nations on five continents.
IMAI provides a setting where young aspiring professional musicians and seasoned artists can work together, share ideas and learn from each other within an atmosphere of collegiality, guidance and mutual support. Some 30 fine colleague musicians will be joining us for our sixteenth season, and all of these fine talented individuals come to the Institute/Festival on an invitational basis. They are not classified as “students” or “faculty”, since IMAI considers all musicians inherently to be both students and teachers. In that spirit, IMAI seeks to cultivate an atmosphere of community, cooperation and continuous development in the quest for musical and artistic excellence.
