Since it was founded in 2019, the New Millennium International Chamber Music Festival and Academy (NMICMF) has been a growing international community organized and directed by American-Hungarian violinist Miranda Liu, Hungary’s youngest concertmaster. Based in the heart of Europe, the festival is proud to have an all-star roster that is both international and diverse. Its invited artists are based
in Hungary, Spain, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Portugal, Romania, England, Bulgaria, Austria, England, and the Czech Republic, among others. The festival has taken place annually in the heart of Budapest at the end of August / beginning of September and has received attention from the Hungarian and international press for its innovation, in printed form, radio and television. Over 80 students from over 25 different countries have participated actively in the academy, both online and in person, the majority of which are talented musicians of the young generation looking for ways to grow artistically. One of the festival and academy’s goals is to unite different countries as well as different branches of art, opening the doors to future artistic collaborations between artists. The NMICMF is working together with international partners; in 2023 alone, “Edition Vilagarcía” and “Edition Ruse” Bulgaria were organized in Spain and Bulgaria, respectively. The festival and academy's partner and the only legal entity entitled to represent the Festival and Academy since 12 July 2023 is the V4 Music Foundation, a non-profit foundation registered in Hungary.
