The OMI Community

Once OMI, always OMI.

Students, alumni, artists, and families, brought together by chamber music. This is where we celebrate the music we've made together, and everything our alumni go on to do.

Voices of OMI

In their own words.

Students, families, artists, and partners on what OMI means to them.

During my visit with the students and faculty at OMI, it was immediately clear that Qianwen Shen and her team have established an invaluable resource for young, aspiring artists. They foster an intimate and compassionate atmosphere that is vital to the development of young musicians, and the exposure to world-class professionals and venues ensures an experience to be cherished for years to come. I look forward to a continuing relationship with OMI and am excited to see it grow.

I had a lovely time working with the young musicians at Overture, and the artistic team is just incredible: warm, inspiring, and working seamlessly at the highest level to provide a life-changing experience for young musicians!

First of all, we are incredibly grateful to all the teachers and staff for the dedication you bring to your work every day, and for the care you give to the students and parents. As a parent, the greatest joy is seeing how much the children improve in just one short week. If possible, we hope that the next session could be a bit longer, perhaps 10 days or even two weeks, because our child is truly so happy spending each day with the teachers!

首先非常感谢所有老师团队们每一天对工作的投入以及对学生和家长日常的照顾,作为家长最欣慰的是看到短短一周孩子的进步。如果可以的话希望下一次的训练可以有更长的时间,比如10天或者两周,因为每天和老师们在一起孩子真的很开心!

High-level teachers and an enjoyable teaching atmosphere. A truly unforgettable and awesome experience. Especially at the end, the teachers’ performance at Carnegie Hall was amazing and gave students and parents a thrilling feeling!
