The Avalon String Quartet and the Northern Illinois University School of Music are excited to relaunch the Graduate String Quartet in Residence, a fully-funded opportunity for graduate study at NIU.
Quartet members may pursue the MM degree or a Performers Certificate, and receive intensive string quartet coaching with the Avalon Quartet and Mathias Tacke (formerly of the Vermeer Quartet).
On- and off-campus performances, competition preparation, career guidance, recording services, new music premieres and teaching opportunities abound.
The awards include full graduate tuition waiver and a ~$7000 annual GA stipend for each quartet member. Pre-formed groups are encouraged to apply; individual applications are also considered.
For more information please contact Blaise Magniere, string area coordinator: bmagniere@niu.edu.
