IMS Prussia Cove

IMS Prussia Cove nurtures and inspires world-class musicians. We bring emerging artists and acclaimed performers from across the world to make music together in a remote part of Cornwall, UK. Founded in 1972, by the Hungarian violinist Sándor Végh, we are one of classical music’s most celebrated organisations, and continue to flourish under the Artistic Direction of renowned cellist Steven Isserlis.

IMS Prussia Cove runs two annual seminars, attracting musicians from around the world to study, collaborate and perform in a secluded part of the country. We foster and preserve a central European tradition of music-making upheld by our founder, the Hungarian violinist Sándor Végh, which focuses on freedom of expression and the ability to truly speak to audiences from the heart.
