International Music Center of America

Description

Help us to provide international opportunities to talented US musicians, and to bring international classical musicians and orchestras to the US.

Music is an international language. It conquers the barriers and tensions created by history, politics and governments. For years musicians have been ambassadors of goodwill.

IMCA was born of a grant opportunity from the US State Department to increase cultural awareness between the US and other countries. Our first project is a collaboration with the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. The City of Dubrovnik, in Croatia, was all but destroyed in the 1990s war with Serbia. Its once renowned orchestra suffered greatly. In 2005 IMCA sponsored the performance of a violinist from Michigan with the DSO in Dubrovnik. The acceptance and acclaim was spectacular.

Help us to send US artists abroad, and to bring global artists to our communities.
