SUMMER FESTIVAL
THE TRAINING FESTIVAL FOR COMPOSERS OF NEW MUSIC
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!
Our flagship summer program provides early-career composers the opportunity to compose & premiere a new work, to develop their craft, and to take critical steps in their creative and career development--all under the guidance and mentorship of our world-class festival faculty.
What sets INMF apart is our commitment to preparing composers for both the creative and practical realities of a career in the arts: In addition to the premiere and documentation of their new work, composers participate in private lessons with composition faculty, workshops with performance faculty, as well as Masterclasses, Conducting Workshops, and our innovative Evening Lecture Series focusing on career development topics.

Week 1 includes online lessons, workshops, and talks to support composers as they complete their new work.
LOS ANGELES, CA | July 30 - August 3, 2024
Week 2 includes in-person rehearsals, conducting workshop, masterclasses, concert, and other events.
