IBW International Festival for Brass Musicians, by Brass Musicians

What makes the IBW Festival unique?
EXPERIENCE- One of the longest (14 years) continually running festivals focused on each brass instrument.
VARIETY– 17 world-class teachers and staff hailing from all corners of the globe.
TRADITION- Bel Canto has been the heart of Italian music making since the beginning. IBW, unlike many other brass festivals, propounds this method in order to perform effectively with brass instruments.
ENSEMBLES- Play and perform with each of the following: Orchestral Repertoire Ensemble, Brass Quintets, and the International Brass Ensemble.
OPPORTUNITIES- European sponsors and exhibitors will bring various products from their catalogues for students to test during the week.
COMPETE- Scholarships will be awarded to winners of a Concerto Competition at the end of IBW.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE- Meet students from around the world, share meals with guest artists, and enjoy the history of music, food, and culture in Cesena-Bertinoro.
CONCERTS- Enjoy nightly concerts held by members of the IBW teaching faculty and Artists in Residence. The entire Historical Centre of Cesena will be at our disposal for our "Brass and Jazz" event, which will have 10+ simultaneous brass groups playing for local businesses, residents, and tourists.
DIVERSITY- Since its inception in 2000, IBW has had over one thousand student participants from over 20 countries. Students and teachers alike return home from IBW with a more panoramic perspective of varying traditions and cultures.
PERFORM- Play in the Historic Centres of Cesena and Bertinoro to live audiences.
