Education Events featuring Emerging Quartets and Composers
Free and open to the public each year, Joan Tower selects two emerging composers and the Muir String Quartet selects two emerging quartets. They all come together in Deer Valley for about three weeks to share musical ideas, practice and perform. During this time we sponsor a number of events that are free and open to the public that will give you the chance to observe and interact with the composers and performers.
