BANFF INTERNATIONAL STRING QUARTET COMPETITION Banff, Alberta, Canada
WFIMC Member since 1984
The Banff International String Quartet Competition is recognized as one of the premier chamber music competitions in the world. Established in 1983, BISQC is a large celebration of chamber music in a festival format attracting enthusiastic capacity audiences. The unparalleled exposure to concert presenters, managers and broadcasters from North America and abroad makes BISQC a career launching pad for all invited ensembles. All quartets invited to participate in the competition are provided return transportation from their home to Banff as well as room and board for the duration of BISQC. A separate rehearsal room for each quartet will also be provided. In recognition of the extraordinary level of artistry that BISQC attracts, in 2016 a new career development program was introduced which guarantees financial support to all invited quartets. All quartets not advancing to the finals will receive a Christine and David Anderson Prize of $5.000 CAD.
