Mission
The mission of the Kansas City String Quartet Program™ is "To nurture young musicians toward artistic excellence through the cooperative study and performance of chamber music". Our students affirm this mission. They enjoy meeting other students whose interests they share, they benefit greatly from working with a first class faculty, they learn leadership, public performance, public speaking, confidence-building, cooperation, diplomacy and many more valuable life skills in addition to learning the greatest repertoire for their instrument, written by the masters.
The program also supports faculty performance and our talented local string players. Supporting these musicians enhances their quality of life in Kansas City, increasing the chance they will remain here, thus enhancing ours.
