‘I had the most fantastic experience at the ICMT course in Eygaliéres – all the ideas, inspiration and encouragement from Imogen herself, through the friendliness and hospitality of the others helping out, and such friendly audiences who came to hear us play! The tranquillity of the location lent itself so well to focusing deeply on music and art (practice in a barn was one of the highlights, contrasting so strongly with the hectic conservatoire environment that we are so used to). Above all, I left the course feeling so inspired and really enjoying everything to do with music, rather than feeling exhausted – which I think says volumes about the time I had there! It is impossible to overstate how unique the course is in terms of its size (only two students when I was there) and the amount of time we had with such an amazing personality as Imogen, both playing and talking – I don't know of anything else quite like it. I am fascinated to hear of the future directions of the course with other instruments working on the course as well as pianists – we pianists have a huge amount we can learn from others. I only wish I could take part every year!’
