The 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC) will have 10 of the world’s best emerging string quartets compete. The quartets will perform 4 programs over 12 concerts, for a distinguished jury, an eager audience, and for each other, as they vie for the over $500,000 in cash, prizes and opportunities offered.
