Mission Statement

For almost five decades, we’ve been dedicated to our mission of nurturing and championing the world’s finest young string players. We seek to develop wider audiences for classical music through public concerts, master classes and community outreach, with The Irving M. Klein International String Competition (The Klein) as our entry point. The Klein takes place over one weekend each June at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where audiences in-person and worldwide can see the classical superstars of tomorrow!

We exist to serve the next generation of string performers, helping them to launch their careers.
