International Musicians Seminar - Autumn Tour 2018

Sándor Végh, the great Hungarian violinist, founded the International Musicians Seminar in 1972, believing the remote location on the Atlantic coast in Cornwall to be charged with energy which could inspire and reinvigorate musicians – a unique atmosphere far removed from the stresses and strains of a musician's busy travelling life. Over the years, the IMS has become a renowned centre of musical idealism.

Every year, following the Open Chamber Music seminar, a group of musicians specially invited by IMS's Artistic Director Steven Isserlis take part in a national tour, bringing the work done at IMS to a wider audience. The musicians taking part each year have either had a long association with IMS Prussia Cove, or have come through the Masterclasses more recently, bringing together an ensemble of young and more experienced musicians.
