MPI is built around the belief that artistic growth happens not only through intensive individual work, but through listening, reflection, discipline, physical awareness, community, and shared experience.

The rhythm of the week has therefore been designed with great care. Masterclasses, performances, warm-ups, concerts, conversations, walks, and moments of rest all form part of the artistic process. Inspired in part by Marina Piccinini’s longtime practice of kung fu, MPI approaches music as a complete discipline, one that engages the mind, body, imagination, and spirit together.

Students are encouraged not only to refine their playing, but to deepen their relationship to interpretation, communication, collaboration, and the larger artistic world around them. The goal is not simply technical excellence, but the cultivation of thoughtful, curious, resilient, and fully engaged musicians.

At the heart of MPI is the belief that serious artistic work can be both rigorous and deeply human, and that the colleagues we encounter as young artists often become lifelong sources of inspiration, support, and shared growth.
