The Center for Chamber Music Studies was established in 2002 in order to promote chamber music performance by College of Music students at the highest competitive levels, nationally and internationally. Though primarily composed of graduate students, some exceptional undergraduate music majors are also accepted into the center.  The Center for Chamber Music Studies is consists of four groups – a woodwind quintet, brass quintet, piano trio, and string quartet.  In 2008, the string quartet received the name “Bancroft Quartet” in appreciation of the steadfast generosity and support of the College by Sue Schrier Bancroft and Christopher Bancroft. Ensembles from the program have performed in Europe, Asia, South America, and throughout North America and have been selected to participate in international competitions such as the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition, Plowman Chamber Music Competition, and Coleman Chamber Ensemble Competition.
