BLOSSOM MUSIC FESTIVAL STUDENT/FACULTY CONCERT & PLAY IN FOLLOWED BY THE CLEVELAND
ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT. On Sunday, July 27th, we will travel to
the famous Blossom Music Center, the beautiful summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra. IMF will present an hour-long solo
and play-in concert at the main entrance pavilion at 5:30. The final portion of the concert will be a walking play-in by violin,
flute, and guitar students performed for thousands of audience members on the Blossom Festival grounds. This will be followed
by a program by the extraordinary Cleveland Orchestra, often mentioned as the world's greatest, at 7 PM. We are very lucky
to have the cooperation of the Cleveland Orchestra Educational Division in being able to get tickets in the very first rows
of the pavilion for about half price. The pavilion seats 8,000 so we are so pleased to offer you this rare and thrilling opportunity
of being right in front of the orchestra if you choose pavilion seats. Ticket prices are $22 for ALL seats for the pavilion.
Prices for lawn admission is $18 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12, free for infants through age 5. You may drive
to this event or take the IMF bus for a $10 charge (but you must sign up for this on your registration form.)

The teen program will be visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or, for those who choose, the Cleveland Art Museum.
Other registrants are encouraged also to visit one of these two fantastic museums or the Scene Museum, located next to the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Each museum offers special events; for example the Rock and Roll Museum offers special concerts,
The Art Musuem offers a special free courtyard concert, and the Science Museum offers hands-on games
especially designed
for children. For each of these you would pay for admission at the door. Otherwise, use Wednesday evening to "regroup"
by relaxing, swimming, participating in sports, visiting other area attractions, or just plain practicing or getting together
to visit.
