All were selected via highly competitive auditions for the prestigious four-year scholarship covering tuition, room, board, and expenses when the ensemble is invited to summer festivals and major residencies. The quintet will play together for their entire time at Frost, and members are selected not only for their musical talent but also for their leadership potential, academic merit, and character.
Funded by the Stamps Charitable Foundation, founded by Penny and Roe Stamps, the Stamps Scholars Program brings a new group of exceptional young musicians to the Frost School each year. The other three Stamps Ensembles are the Stamps Brass Quintet, the Stamps String Quartet, and the Stamps Jazz Quintet.
