Start creating your school project
PROJECT STRING QUARTET is a vibrant new initiative that combines world-class training for young professional string quartets, with invaluable educational and performance opportunities in schools across the UK, utilising the string quartet as a powerful tool to educate and inspire.
School Projects
Project String Quartet places Young Professional Quartets and International Artists in schools for concerts, masterclasses, workshop presentations, and chamber music coaching.
All school projects offer a wide range of activities that can be tailor-made to fit the needs of the school and its community, enhancing the teaching of music departments to boost the learning of all students.
Every project will have your school paired with a Young Professional Quartet and an International Artist, who will perform in a formal evening concert and lead all PSQ activities as part of your school visit. Our team will work with you to create a schedule for the project that best fits around your school’s needs, and are available to answer any questions about creating a PSQ visit.
TWO DAY Visit

Project String Quartet’s founder, Graham Oppenheimer, has been working with string quartets in schools for many years to share their skills with string players and students. Listen to our BBC Radio Leicester piece on Graham taking a leading young string quartet into schools.
