The IIMA was established to promote classical music and to encourage new generations of classical music participants and audiences. At the core of what we do is training young musicians who are the beginning of their musical journey. To support this programme the IIMA have established a Bursary Fund.

​​​

With a cost of living crisis effecting everyone, students are finding it difficult to fund their musical education. Our fund is a response to this financial limitation on musical talent.  The Bursary Fund is ring-fenced so that everything you donate goes directly to supporting individuals who display exceptional talent, and who the IIMA believe will benefit from the courses we offer. The Bursary Fund helps them access our world-class teaching programmes.​ Since the launch of the fund in 2023, five students have enjoyed life changing experiences and made a significant step forward in their musical careers thanks to our donors.

​

In return for your support we like to offer you a real peek behind the scenes. Donors are invited to exclusive musical soirées, private rehearsals and masterclasses and have the opportunity to meet the students and the artists. We can also offer a preferential seat service on request. For those donating on behalf of companies or organisations we can also offer a huge range of promotional support through our extensive marketing activities.
