The competition embodies St Martin’s commitment to the discovery, nurture and promotion of new and emerging musical talent and continues a long history of musical excellence and artistic contribution at the heart of London. With the support of Making Music, the competition is able to offer winners the opportunity to establish and develop a performance profile throughout the UK.

Previous Winners
Piatti String Quartet won the inaugural St Martin’s Chamber Music Competition in 2010. They went on to receive over 15 professional engagements as part of their prize and these are opening up many more opportunities as they continue to perform brilliantly and work hard to promote themselves. Since their win, they have made their Wigmore Hall debut and been selected to perform in both the Melbourne International String Quartet and London International String Quartet Competitions.
BMF Trio, the Poland based winners of the 2011 competition will enjoy a UK tour in September 2012 through the Making Music membership network as a result of their prize.
The St Martin's Chamber Music Competition's existence as an essential stepping stone for extraordinary young artists depends entirely upon the goodwill of our audiences and supporters. We are always extremely grateful for any support.
