Performing here places you in the footsteps of countless musical legends, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
Beyond the concert stage, participants are invited to immerse themselves in the vibrant energy of New York City. Take advantage of the city’s many cultural treasures, from exploring the world-class collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art to experiencing the dazzling lights of Times Square and the serene beauty of Central Park. For those with a love of history, a visit to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island is a must, while architectural enthusiasts will be captivated by iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal.
To ensure you are fully prepared for your momentous performance, the IAPMT provides access to a variety of nearby rehearsal studios. With numerous professional rehearsal spaces located conveniently near Carnegie Hall, you will have ample opportunity to hone your craft in a dedicated and focused environment before stepping onto the world stage.
