about

Golden Hornet's String Quartet Smackdown is a bracketed, NCAA basketball tournament style competition which brings original string quartet compositions head-to-dead in front of a live, participatory audience.

This album is comprised of the sixteen quartets that were selected as finalists for the fifth annual concert, held in February 2020. The audience determined Stephanie Hamelin Tomala as the champion (a repeat from 2019!), and all finalists received studio recordings of their works.

Entrance and participation in String Quartet Smackdown is totally free and open. Purchases of this album support the continued realization of this program which supports emerging composers from diverse backgrounds worldwide.
