Musical Instrument Bank Competition

This competition assists gifted classical musicians in enhancing their professional careers by awarding them a term loan of an exceptional instrument.

The objective of the Musical Instrument Bank is to assist gifted classical musicians in the development and enhancement of a professional solo or chamber music career through a term loan of a musical instrument. Competitions for the loan of an instrument are held when the instruments become available through new acquisition or termination of loan periods. To date, there are 10 exception instruments and a fine cello bow available through this program.
