IMC (August 28 - September 5, 2010) begins in just:
Interprovincial Music Camp (IMC), held at Camp Manitou, outside Parry Sound, Ontario, offers a challenging instrumental and musical experience geared to the needs of young string musicians from grades 5 through 12 and young brass, wind, and percussion students from grades 7 through 12.
The program is designed to accommodate players ranging from the most talented and proficient, that play in our "symphonic" ensembles, to the less experienced players who join the "concert" ensembles. IMC is proud to announce the return of our String Orchestra, established to meet the needs of emerging young string players with less than two years playing experience. On the first day all players take part in auditions that are used to determine which of these large ensembles they will be joining.

IMC welcomes Sasha Johnson (tuba) and John Rudolph (percussion) to the Teaching Faculty for 2010.
