The Akropolis Chamber Music Institute (ACMI) is a week long summer festival held at and in partnership with Interlochen Center for the Arts from June 7-13, 2026.
ACMI invites creative composers, innovative performers, and rising ensembles to come together for a rigorous week of chamber music, world premieres, and professional development. ACMI’s goal is to launch your career as a 21st century artist through the highest level of performance, dedicated 1-on-1 mentorship, direct collaboration with Akropolis including performing side by side with Akropolis members, and lasting relationships.
Approximately 4 composers, 16 individual instrumentalists, and 2 resident ensembles will be accepted to ACMI 2026.
The composers-in-residence at ACMI will create a new work for Akropolis which will be extensively workshopped at ACMI and premiered during our 26/27 season, as well as a new work for the ACMI instrumentalists which will be premiered at ACMI. Tuition is $1,800, financial assistance available.
