Dear IMSOM Patrons and Music Lovers,
After what has been a real tough start to a new year, it’s time to rejuvenate … in the only, but time-tested, way IMSOM has known … with a brand-new season of soul-lifting music from some of the world’s finest talent.
Come join us this upcoming Spring Season, to submerge ourselves once again, in an ethereal realm of love, beauty and oneness that we all rightly crave and deserve …
IMSOM announces the Spring 2026 Season of Music. Mark your calendars (some small changes have taken place since the last announcement).
