In 2021, Soma Quartet won the Emerging Ensemble division of the Nola Chamber Fest Competition. As part of their prize, they have been invited to perform in New Orleans on January 9th and January 10th. Here is an excerpt from the NCF website:
โSince 2014 NOLA Chamber Fest has encouraged, inspired, and motivated musicians through the experience of tight-knit collaboration and artistic independence that only chamber music can offer. We provide learning and performance opportunities for elementary, middle and high school-aged musicians, college and graduate ensembles, community musicians and todayโs top emerging professional talent. Collaboratively presented by Lyrica Baroque, the New Orleans Friends of Music, and the University of New Orleans, NOLA Chamber Fest continues to thrive as a meaningful educational and artistic opportunity.โ
