Now it’s our turn to offer a rewarding international experience for young musicians!

From Oct. 14–21, 2025, student musicians from Graz, Austria, will
visit Flint to collaborate with the
Flint Youth Symphony Orchestra. We’re looking for host families to provide lodging, most meals (including sack lunches), and daily transportation to and from FIM.

Hosting is a rewarding cultural exchange, offering students a safe, welcoming home while giving your family the chance to build international friendships. You don’t even need to speak German — most students speak English!

To learn more or apply to be a host, contact Dare Stogner at dstogner@thefim.org.
