About the show
Rising stars straight from the nation’s largest chamber music competition come to the CMA stage! We are excited to host this year’s winners, Poiesis Quartet, as part of CMA’s continued partnership with the Fischoff Competition. The quartet is comprised of violinists Sarah Ma and Max Ball, violist Jasper de Boor, and cellist Drew Dansby. Poiesis has toured around the world and performed in masterclasses for some of the leading chamber musicians of our time. Join us on October 27 to hear the next generation of talented performers!
Founded in 1973 in South Bend, Indiana, USA, the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition has grown to become the largest chamber music competition in the world, and one of the most prestigious classical music prizes attainable today. The 50th Fischoff Competition is scheduled for May 12 - 14, 2023 in South Bend, IN.
Committed to music education, the Fischoff also partners with competition alumni to bring free, innovative Arts-in-Education programs directly to children in their own schools and community centers.
