The Beverly Hills International Music Festival has a new home for training young musicians and concerts. Sinai Temple, one of the largest and most important congregations on the Westside of Los Angeles, has invited the Beverly Hills International Music Festival to be a part of their summer program.

This will be our 7th season bringing exciting and eclectic chamber music to the Westside. We invite young musicians from all over the world to join us in a broad and colorful spectrum of arts experiences, including learning from international guest artists and giving recitals for some of the entertainment capital of the world's most important personalities.

The Beverly Hills International Music Festival offers public performance opportunities as well as intensive study for young musicians in one of the world’s premier entertainment centers. The Festival is designed to provide talented instrumentalists and vocalists a chance to learn from some of the world's leading musicians, to improve their technical and expressive musical skills, and to perform before leading entertainment specialists.

Young artists will never forget their time with our outstanding faculty. Daily coaching and Master Classes will offer students the opportunity to interact with the faculty. In addition, the faculty provides help on individual chamber music parts and individual solo repertoires during private lessons.

In addition to learning new repertoire, developing new techniques, expanding a general knowledge of important chamber music pieces, hearing performances by internationally acclaimed musicians, and performing themselves with other participants in several concert settings, students also make new friends and do a little sightseeing as well.

The Seventh Annual Beverly Hills International Music Festival is committed to providing a healthy, professional and unique learning environment for aspiring students. The Festival is open to individuals as well as chamber groups, and musicians are encouraged to attend with their families and/or partners.

Thanks for considering joining us for our seventh season of music in and around Beverly Hills.
