Due to the lack of student interest this year, SOCMI has been cancelled for the summer.  Very sad news, indeed. 

Two years ago today a wonderful lady, Ann Vera Vallentyne December 28, 1927 – April 19, 2009, passed away. In honour of all she has done in the musical community, SOCMI announces the 'Ann Vallentyne Memorial Scholarship Fund'...please visit www.socmi.org to apply.

Only three concerts left!  
Please come out and support our alumna, Rachel Mercer's concert series! www.rachelmercercellist.com/5attheFirst.html

Amazing ladies!

The site is a continual work in progress. It is intended to be an international professional resource devoted to string quartet performers and compositions of the last hundred years or so and to connections between them. At its core is a data base, although it will present much more.
