The Association for Music in International Schools is an organization hosts festivals which includes days of music practice and then concludes with a concert.
The association's acronym AMIS is also the French word amis, which means friends. This was an intended naming choice by its founders.
AMIS' member schools mainly lie in Europe and Asia.
Many times, AMIS has commissioned works by composers. Such composers include Philip Sparke, David Brunner, Dr. Richard Prior, Christopher Marshall, and more.
