The International Music Academy Pilsen, now in its fifth year, is the product of many years of collaboration between our faculty members and major international teachers. It was founded to foster those relationships with the goal of developing young talent. Established European, American and South American faculty and staff assist us in our goal of pursuing a world class Academy and enable students to achieve a high level of accomplishment during the four week session. Consisting of string, piano, improvisation and chamber music programs, the IMAP also includes private study and master classes with tri-weekly concerts in beautiful historic locations throughout Pilsen. This year we are proud to announce new additions to our outstanding faculty: Violinists Leoš Čepický of the Wihan String Quartet, Jiří Fišer of the Prague Conservatory and Gymnasium, Kenneth Johnson, Concertmaster of the Erie Symphony and Kirsten Yon of the Texas Tech University faculty have joined us this season. Outstanding alumni Michal Sedláček and Danae Witter have joined our Junior Violin Faculty this season.
IMAP faculty and alumni scored victories in major competitions as well as performing in dozens of major concerts around the world. Highlights include:
We look forward to your interest in studying and making music in the beautiful countryside of the Czech Republic!
