String Quartet Exchange with the Brandon Suzuki Summer Institute
(Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 28, 2013)
 July 12: Montreal participants travel to Brandon
 July 20: Return to Montreal with Brandon participants
 July 28: Brandon participants return to Brandon
We are coordinating our activities with the Brandon Suzuki Summer Institute (www.brandonsuzuki.ca) which will take place in Brandon, Manitoba from July 12 to July 19. We hope the advanced string players who are auditioning for the Chamber Music Session for Strings and Pianists will audition for the Brandon-Montreal String Quartet Exchange. In this exchange program the students will attend the Brandon Summer Suzuki Institute from July 12th to July 19th and Institut Suzuki Montréal from July 21st to July 27th. The students who are accepted in this program will benefit from working with the same ensemble for the period of the two Institutes. This intense and exiting musical experience will foster lasting friendships with people from different parts of the country who share a passion for music. As they develop their musical abilities together, the students will experience two cultures and the different social atmospheres of a prairie city and a metropolitan one. Students can look forward to having the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of each city from the perspective of the host families with whom they will be billeted. What a great experience!

Steps are being taken to receive sponsorship from SEVEC, an organisation that subsidises travel expenses for student exchanges within Canada. This grant applies only to Canadian participants between 12 and 17 years old. Candidates who are not Canadian or who are 18 and over may participate in the Exchange but are not eligible to receive the travel subsidy.

Note: If we are not accepted to the SEVEC program this year, the Brandon-Montreal Exchange will not take place. If this be the case, we hope that candidates will audition for the Chamber Music Session for Strings and Pianists.

The Brandon/Montreal Quartet Exchange Program creates an environment that motivates and challenges students to develop ensemble skills while they continue to develop their individual technical and musical skills. These achievements will be gained by participating in this intense program guided by artist faculty.
In this exchange program the student attends two Suzuki Institutes in two different cities over a two week time frame while continually working within the same ensemble(s). The program provides a very exciting and intense musical experience and fosters the formation of lasting friendships with people from different parts of the country who share a passion for music. Not only will students develop musically together, they will be exposed to two different cultures and social atmospheres in the prairie setting of Brandon and the more metropolitan city of Montreal. Students can look forward to having the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of each city from the perspective of the host families.
