Our fast-track programme allows performers to join the ISM as full members quickly if they are regularly engaged by one of the musical organisations that we work with. Performers who join through the programme don't have to show evidence of their qualifications or provide referees; instead, we will contact the organisation to confirm that you are regularly engaged as a performer.
Fast-track organisations include over 50 UK-based professional symphony, opera and ballet orchestras, as well as organisations representing performers including Live Music Now!, the Park Lane Group, and the Young Concert Artists Trust. It also includes agents and artist managers who belong to the International Artist Managers' Association (IAMA). Please contact us to find out which organisations are part of the programme.
To join as a full member through the fast-track programme, please select from the list of fast-track organisations during the application process.
