Charleston Music Festival And School

The mission of Charleston International Music School (CIMS) is to provide excellence in performing arts education here in the Low Country, as well as on a national and global level. CIMS was founded in 2010 by Ruben Camacho, a graduate from The Julliard School in New York. CIMS' hallmark is the powerful sense of connection and enthusiasm that it fosters in both students and faculty alike. Students work and perform with musicians of different backgrounds and nationalities, learning to communicate through their music-making. This intensive program creates the best conditions for gifted young musicians to flourish.
