Chiara Quartet wins 3rd prize at Borciani Competition

The results are in for the 7th Paolo Borciani International String Quartet Competition!

1st: Pavel Haas Quartet from the Czech Republic
2nd: Tankstream Quartet from Australia
3rd: Chiara Quartet from USA
4th: Biava Quartet from USA
Special prize for best performance of Peter Maxwell Davies piece: Haas Quartet

The judges deliberated for a record 4 1/2 hours, finally reaching a decision at 12:30 AM Italian time. Of the original 22 quartets, the highest number ever accepted into the first round, 14 advanced to the semi-finals, far more than usual, and 6 quartets were in the finals, also more than usual. The level this year is extraordinary, which bodes well for the careers of the winners as well as the other quartets, and for chamber music in general.

3rd prize includes a cash prize of 6,600 Euros and a performance on the winner's concert this Sunday.
