The Visiting Quartet Residency Program offered in the ASU Herberger Institute School of Music is a distinct program among music schools nationwide that integrates visiting resident artists with a comprehensive chamber music curriculum, providing the greatest educational chamber music experience possible. Each year, the Herberger College School of Music at ASU engages a different major professional string quartet to serve throughout the year as distinguished artist teachers. The quartet works intensively with students on projects designed to form the basis of a chamber music curriculum.
Each visiting resident quartet is chosen in conjunction with specific projects that not only fulfill a most comprehensive course of study, but does so with the top specialists in the field. Over the course of a four-year undergraduate degree, students will have worked and developed relationships with four different major professional string quartets, while covering all pillars in the chamber music literature.
