Fueling Talent, Sharing the Stage
With the support of sponsors, IHMS makes world-class concerts accessible to all while providing invaluable stage experience for our students and alumni. Every summer, 150 rising stars from 40 countries take to the stage during our Summer Academy & Festival, performing over 150 concerts and public masterclasses across 25 venues in Northwest Netherlands. Throughout the year, our New Masters on Tour series and other initiatives expand the reach of classical music, presenting additional concerts both in the Netherlands and abroad.
IHMS’s legacy includes over 2,500 participants, many of whom have gone on to achieve global acclaim. Recognized winners of international competitions and celebrated performers like Liza Ferschtman, Quirine Viersen, and Nicholas Angelich began their journeys with IHMS, gracing stages like Het Koninklijk Concertgebouw as part of our New Masters on Tour.
Your sponsorship ensures young talent can flourish, offering them a platform to perform while making concerts accessible for audiences of all ages. Explore our tailored sponsorship options and demonstrate your commitment to the future of classical music.

IHMS thrives thanks to the dedication of its community: 200 volunteers, including 75 host families, one paid director, and a committed team of coordinators and advisors. Together, they ensure the smooth operation of our programs, which inspire and shape the next generation of classical musicians.
As a cultural Public Benefit Organization (ANBI), IHMS offers sponsors significant tax advantages under the Dutch Giving Act ("Geefwet"). Your support allows us to continue our mission of bringing classical music to life.
