Dear String Lover,
I'm writing to share information with you about the 3rd Annual Spring Strings Festival & Competition.

Held on the beautiful campus of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Saturday, April 5th from 10 AM - 4 PM, the festival is open to current high school students who have participated in an All State or Youth Symphony Orchestra or with a teacher's recommendation. The day will feature a concerto competition, string orchestra, chamber music, and masterclasses with the UNL faculty including the GRAMMY-nominated Chiara String Quartet, violin soloist David Neely, Lincoln Symphony Principal Violist Clark Potter, Trio Nuovo cellist Karen Becker, and EMI recording artist Hans Sturm.


For application information including how to upload audition audio or video, please see the attached PDF flyer and see the detailed instructions on the Spring Strings Festival website: http://music.unl.edu/springstrings
(While there, please take a moment to view the video in the upper righthand corner of the screen featuring the Chiara String Quartet performing an excerpt of the Ravel String Quartet from memory from last year!)

Please note that the deadline for applications is March 24!

Kindly pass this message along to anyone you feel might be interested. Please contact me if you have questions.

Best wishes,
Hans
