The new Master of Music in Performance—Emphasis String Quartet program is designed for pre-formed string quartets (not individuals) embarking on a career in chamber music. During the two-year program, students will receive weekly coaching and individual lessons from the Lafayette String Quartet, develop and grow both as individuals and as an ensemble, develop quartet repertoire, gain valuable performance experience, and hone their skills through various outreach programs and ensembles in the community. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school. The Graduate String Quartet Program at UVic is open to pre-formed quartets only. International ensembles are welcome to apply. Applicants to the Master of Music in Performance—Emphasis String Quartet program are asked to submit an audio-visual recording consisting of three contrasting movements which reflect their highest level of playing. |
Application Notes : | Quartets considered as finalists will be asked to submit additional solo audition material, which should include a movement of a concerto and two contrasting movements of solo Bach. Finalists will be notified by March 1, 2015. Live auditions will be arranged with each quartet selected in the finals, either in person or through live-streaming. One quartet will be chosen for this program. |
