I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as one of the finalists of the fifth annual String Quartet Smackdown by Golden Hornet! A panel of judges selected the sixteen finalist compositions to be performed live at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, TX, on February 23, 2019, at 7 PM by Invoke String Quartet. The live audience in attendance will determine the winner by voting for their favorite pieces in each round. The winner of each round moves on in the tournament... and the champion will receive a grand prize of $1,500!  Here is what happened in String Quartet Smackdown V by Golden Hornet and Invoke on February 23, 2019, at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema South Lamar in Austin, TX. Thrilled for being among the finalists and part of that amazing event!
