About Our Music Camp Programs

Week of April 22, 2024: PIMF is still accepting auditions for all of our summer music programs. As the festival is just months away, we make a point of sending acceptance letters at the earliest possible date – often within 48 hours of receiving audition materials. Once a program is full – we post an announcement stating such on the corresponding program page, and perspective participants are placed on a Waiting List. If you do not see an announcement at the top of a program page – there are still openings.

 
The Philadelphia International Music Camp & Festival is a summer music program offering students of all ages and skill levels the unique opportunity of spending from seven days to four weeks immersed in music education and performance training, with members of The Philadelphia Orchestra.  For the upcoming 2024 season, all programs will be offered live and in-person at Valley Forge Military Academy and College, as they were in 2023.
