Elevate the Future of Classical Music

The Festival del Lago International Academy of Music has already established a unique and growing reputation in the world of classical music.

The Festival will feature more than 60 students in 2026, instructed by some of the best professional musicians in the world. About half of our students will be from Mexico, with the remainder from countries around the world.

For our 2026 season we are offering Benefactor and Patron packages to support the Festival del Lago International Academy of Music.

Our Benefactors and Patrons have a rare opportunity to support rising star classical musicians, not just to elevate their professional careers but to empower them to reach new heights and share their extraordinary talents with the world.

It’s important to note that our academy is a non-profit organization, the only one in Latin America operating without government funding. Therefore, the contributions from our Benefactors and Patrons are even more vital, as they directly finance the academy’s mission to provide exceptional music education and opportunities for the next generation of classical musicians.

By joining us as either a Benefactor or Patron, you not only contribute to the world of music but also make a powerful statement about our community’s commitment to cultivating and supporting the arts. Few summer international academies can compete with our unique location here on Lake Chapala, and none even come close to benefitting from our community’s exceptional volunteers and support.
