About the Saint Paul String Quartet Competition:
Founded in 2006 as a performance forum for outstanding young chamber musicians. Since then the SPSQC has garnered a national reputation for showcasing our nation’s finest pre-college and college age string players. Young Artists from this event now populate the most prestigious conservatories and music programs in the country and several prizewinners are now members of internationally renowned chamber groups.
The SPSQC is open to aspiring non-professional string quartets whose members are 30 years of age or younger in two distinct age divisions – Junior and Senior. Applicant’s recordings are reviewed and individually ranked by a selection jury of highly esteemed chamber music professionals from across the country. The top scoring quartets are invited to St. Paul to perform in the Final Round events in St. Paul, Minnesota, juried by renowned professional string quartets from the Schubert Club Music in the Park Series and MacPhail Center For Music.
