Introducing: Project String Quartet
Project String Quartet (PSQ) is a vibrant new initiative creating invaluable educational and performance opportunities in schools across the UK. Our projects would pair your school with a Young Professional Quartet and a leading International Artist, who will perform in a formal evening concert and present PSQ activities as part of your school visit.
All projects offer a wide range of activities that can be tailor-made to fit the needs of your school. They are designed to enhance the teaching of your music department and boost the learning of your students. Our team will work with you to create a schedule for the project that best fits around your needs.
Tailor Make Your Project to create a truly unique musical experience for your school. Select from our list of activities which provide students with the opportunity to watch, listen and perform with professional musicians, create and collaborate with other students on musical projects, and experience world class performances that are sure to inspire. Projects can range from a two-day visit to a nine-day residency spread over the course of the academic year.
Project String Quartet Believes in providing young people with an engaging and lasting educational experience, promoting an appreciation and enjoyment of music for students of all ages and musical backgrounds. Director and founder Graham Oppenheimer is an experienced international violist, chamber musician, teacher and organiser. He believes that the string quartet is itself an instrument that can be used to develop technical mastery and enhance creativity in students.
Work With High-Profile Musicians that will develop your students' musicianship skills, enhance their creativity and communication, and expand their musical knowledge. Project String Quartet works with three Young Professional Quartets and nine outstanding International Artists to deliver its high-quality school projects. Our professional musicians are all highly experienced educationalists and chamber musicians.
Choose a leading International Artist to inspire and promote an instrument in your school, whether to develop the skills of your musicians or inspire younger students to start a new instrument.
“Repton School is delighted to host Project String Quartet, which will clearly support our commitment to developing young string players. PSQ will work with pupils across our Prep and Senior Schools, inspiring beginner players in our Whole Class String Teaching for year 3, as well as delivering world class masterclasses to our players. Meeting and hearing inspirational players will clearly make a lasting impression on our pupils.”
