Blossom Music Center and Free Night Activities

BLOSSOM MUSIC FESTIVAL STUDENT/FACULTY CONCERT & PLAY IN FOLLOWED BY THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA IN CONCERT.
On Sunday, July 25th, 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 5:30.  This concert will be preceded by an Opening Ceremony at 5:00 with introduction of the faculty and staff. 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 one of 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, free for children ages 12 and younger. For more details about the program click on the following link. DAILY SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

GOODTIME III LAKE ERIE/CUYAHOGA BOAT CRUISE

 A charter tour is available on the Goodtime III ship. The boat trip starts on Lake Erie and cruises down the Cuyahoga River winding through downtown Cleveland. This event is a highlight of the week and receives unanimous praise on IMF evaluation sheets. Experience the fun and learn about Cleveland's history while cruising on Cleveland's largest sight-seeing vessel.

Food will be also available for purchase on the ship.  Prices are $14.50 for adults (12-up), $8.50 for children ages 2 to 11, $13.50 for seniors (60+) and free for children under 2. Narrated cruises leave the dock , Tuesday - Saturday at 12 noon and 3PM.  Sunday cruises are at 1 and 3:30 PM. There are later dinner and adult only cruises during the week. Tickets may be purchased for the Goodtime III Cruise prior to boarding at the departure dock.  For complete information, call 216-861-5110 or e:mail, bob@goodtime.com .
 

WEDNESDAY FREE NIGHT

There are a myriad of options available for this free night. The teen program students will have the options of 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 Science 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.

ALSO, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WILL BE A SPECIAL STUDENT PLAY-IN, SOLO, AND FACULTY PERFORMANCE AT 7 PM AT THE BAY VILLAGE GAZEBO IN A CONCERT SPONSORED BY THE CITY OF BAY VILLAGE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT NO CHARGE.   This concert will be open to any IMF students registered for lessons who wish to perform and sign-up at the registration desk.
