MITC is a Seattle-based program designed to provide excellent musical instruction and orchestral training for the younger musician, aged 7-14. The program includes string and wind ensembles, chamber music, sectional and full orchestra rehearsals, a daytime chamber music performance, and a final evening concert for all students.



Students with at least two years playing experience, or a minimum of one year of private instruction, are encouraged to apply to MITC. Prior to the festival, students participate in a live audition for orchestral and ensemble placement.
