Michael Danchi is a violin artist and visionary with a love for the arts and for creative people.
Inspired by the example of Walt Disney, his passion is to find creative individuals, bring them together, and give
them the resources to create or do anything they can imagine. Mike founded IPM Productions in 2003 for
the purpose of realizing this dream.
A violinist since the age of four, Mike graduated in 2005 from the world-renowned Eastman School of Music with
a degree in Applied Music - Violin Performance. While at Eastman he studied with virtuoso violinist
Charles Castleman, a brilliant musician and well-loved teacher. In his early years Michael was privileged
to learn the art of violin with Betty Gehring, Pam Kelly, Wilinda Atchley, Eric Pritchard, and other wonderful
musicians.
Mike is a Christian who believes strongly in God-given talent and hence in the responsibility to use
that talent for God's glory. In all of his work, Mike seeks to reflect the Person and Image
of Jesus Christ, to honor Him and to encourage people with His beauty and message of love and salvation.
Therefore, IPM Productions seeks to inspire people and create a vision of hope, beauty, and passion for life.
