International Music Festival of the Adriatic

Composers, pianists, singers, and string players -- immerse yourself in music, art, and creativity by the beautiful Adriatic Sea! At IMFA, you will experience four weeks of faculty-student collaborative music making in the inspirational setting of the United World College of the Adriatic in Duino, Italy.

Students bring with them the solo repertoire that they wish to study and perform. In addition, all students are assigned an opera scene to perform during the festival.

Collaboration is a primary emphasis of the festival, and singers will be given a variety of other assignments which may include:

-Art song collaborations with a student pianist

-Other vocal chamber music, such as pieces for string quartet and voice

Singers have frequent access to IMFA faculty for lessons, coachings, and master classes.
