Master Classes at the Stulberg International String Competition are free for spectators and open to the public. 

The Stulberg Competition Master Classes have been a core part of the organization ever since its inception. Each year, these master classes are held the day before the Stulberg Competition. These master classes provide an opportunity for local students, musicians, and audiences to observe and learn from the very same artists that serve as judges for the Stulberg Competition.

Master Class participants are chosen by audition. Violin, viola, cello soloists under the age of 20 (as of 01/01/2025) are eligible to apply (2025 Stulberg Competition semifinalists are not eligible). Video applications and information may be submitted March 1 – April 5, 2025. Please reach out on our contact page with any questions.
