Other Orchestral Opportunities

Scholarship String Quartet

If you are an experienced string player and like chamber music, the Clemson University String Quartet might be just for you. Four exceptional musicians, chosen by audition in the beginning of the school year, perform in a variety of venues: in the community, at Department and University functions and for children. Some of these events are paying gigs. The group rehearses twice weekly, once with a string coach and a second time without. Students are required to play in orchestra and strongly encouraged to take private lessons. The Quartet is a full-year commitment.

The String Quartet is also a scholarship ensemble. The financial award varies, depending on how much scholarship money is available for this and other needs. Quartet auditions are held at the beginning of the fall semester. For more information on trying out for the quartet, go to the bottom of the audition page.
