International Summer Music Festival

Every summer the world spotlight focuses on the Pennsylvania Academy of Music for its international music festival, Vivace! For two glorious weeks, audiences enjoy continuous concerts and events with some of the world’s finest musicians and music prodigies. This year’s participants represent countries in North America, Europe and Asia. From the opening concert in Steinman Hall to the rousing Cabaret in the rooftop Atrium, the lively esprit de corps that develops between students and mentor artists is infectious and quickly spreads to their audiences.
