Manhattan School of Music will be hosting the 2nd Annual Robert Mann String Quartet Institute to take place Wednesday, January 2 through Sunday, January 6, 2013. Up to six of North America’s most promising young string quartets and special guests, personally chosen by Mr. Mann, will take part in a series of master classes to be taught by Robert Mann and streamed live worldwide. In addition, each quartet will receive intensive coachings, working with a faculty that includes David Geber, Nicholas Mann, members of the American String Quartet, Clive Greensmith and Kazuhide Isomura of the Tokyo String Quartet. On Sunday, a public performance at Manhattan School of Music will showcase the week's accomplishments of all of the quartets.
