Sep. 2016: Prestigious prize winner coming to Corvallis!
The Bay Area's Telegraph Quartet just won the First Prize in the 2016 Naumburg Competition.
Founded in 1926, the Naumburg Competition, one of the world's most prestigious, took place in New York City on September 22 & 23, and was open to chamber music ensembles of all kinds. The competition, which rotates between solo instruments and ensembles, has helped launch the careers of previous winners including Brentano, Pacifica and Miró String Quartets and the Eroica Trio, as well as violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, pianist Stephen Hough, and soprano Dawn Upshaw.
The chamber music prize includes a recital in Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall (shown at left) as well as a commissioned work by the eminent American composer Robert Sirota.
All chamber ensembles were asked to provide three performance-ready concert programs as well as proof of a concert career of three years or more. The Naumburg Chamber Music Competition was open to string quartets, piano trios and ensembles with at least three members and not more than eight, without a conductor.
