The mission of the Heifetz International Music Institute is to develop the expressive potential of every performer. Through the innovative and cross-disciplinary Heifetz Performance & Communication Training, the Institute is dedicated to training young musicians to become well rounded, communicative artists by improving their musicianship and technical agility, self confidence, gestural and verbal communication skills, and leadership capacity both on and off stage. The Institute’s teaching philosophy is that artists express their individuality not only through technically and intellectually robust music making, but also through emotional and even physical engagement.
