We want to thank everyone at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity who has supported the 15th Banff International String Quartet Competition - from feeding our audience and quartets, to booking tickets, creating awareness, fundraising, and ensuring the highest quality experience for all who attend and participate. We couldn't do it without you!
Many thanks to all Banff Centre staff who have contributed to BISQC in the administration, marketing, production, guest services, food and beverage services, and audience services departments.
