Do you have an exceptional colleague in Music Education? Does your administrator go above and beyond in support of the music program and students at your school? The ILMEA Awards Program supports our efforts to recognize outstanding achievements of peers, those preparing to be music educators, as well as those outside the music education profession.
Join ILMEA for the inaugural season of Large Group Festivals coming in the Spring of 2019! These festivals will focus on high caliber clinics, renowned evaluator feedback and a performance experience in a world-class venue. Festivals would be structured in a noncompetitive format, with the focus being on ensemble and director growth.
Congratulations to the honorees of the 2018-2019 ILMEA Composition Contest! Visit the JSGM page for the list of this year’s honorees.
ILMEA is piloting a new series of Nomination Festivals in the spring of 2019, focusing on outstanding music students who were not part of the ILMEA District Festival student ensembles. These students have the opportunity to be nominated by directors for the Nomination Festivals debuting this year in either Chicago or Carterville.
