Among the programs of iPalpiti Artists International, its annual Festival of International Laureates in Los Angeles is emerging as one of the nation's most significant music festivals and the subject of international accolades. The prestigious journal STRAD devoted extensive enthusiastic coverage to it, and the Los Angeles Times acclaimed the Festival's "take-your-breath-away demonstrations of musicianship and technique."

Featuring selected prize-winning young professional musicians from around the globe in the iPalpiti Orchestral Ensemble under the direction of Eduard Schmieder, the Festival encourages artists to find their "own voice," performing as iPalpiti Soloists in solo and chamber ensemble concerts.
