Expanding Access to the World’s Largest Chamber Music Competition
Produced by Fischoff® National Chamber Music Association
Building on over 50 years of success, Fischoff expands access to and engagement with its internationally renowned annual Competition, held on Notre Dame’s campus over Mother’s Day weekend. In addition to attending a weekend of over 100 breathtaking performances, global audiences can experience the Fischoff Competition online through a livestream in partnership with WNIT.
Local musicians of all ages can also participate in pre-Competition artist mini-residencies led by Fischoff Competition jurors and their ensembles. Residency performances, presentations, and masterclasses enrich the musical and cultural life of the community through personal interaction with visiting musicians of the highest caliber.
