The

JMI History Project

Over the next several months, JM International will be digging into our archives and together with JMI Alumni

lay the bricks of our "collective memory lane"

JMI invites you to celebrate 75 years of making a difference through music with us in 2020 & 21! ;)

What is the JMI History Project?

JM International (Jeunesses Musicales International) was founded on July 17th 1945, by Marcel Cuvelier (Belgium) and René Nicoly (France) in the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, Belgium.
Their aim was to unite the world's youth through music in the wake
of the Second World War, a mission that we continue until this day.

Now, as we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we are reaching out to the world to help us tell our remarkable 75 year story. We want you to share your JMI memories with us through images, quotes, music, videos and more. Were you at the first ever Ethno camp? Do you remember when the JM World Orchestra played on both sides of the Berlin Wall? Did JMI musicians visit your school when you were a child?
