Description

International Competitions and Festivals (ICF) is a California 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit established in 1999. The activities of the organization are based on the support provided by volunteer members, who are passionate about the arts, and believe that the mutual understanding, respect, and strengthening of international collaboration between peoples of the world can be achieved through the arts.

Since 1999 ICF presented several major international events in greater Los Angeles area. Among them Six International Piano Symposia (at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Azusa University and at the Colburn School in downtown Los Angeles), Aram Khachaturian Ballet "Spartacus"
with world famous choreographer Yury Grigorovich and his Ballet company, "Nutcracker" ballet by Bolshoi Ballet Academy, three Rachmaninoff International Piano Competitions and Festivals and several concerts and master classes by world renowned musicians.
