Administrative history

The Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC) is a triennial event, open to string quartets of all nationalities whose members meet the competition’s age requirements. Participating groups perform works from the string quartet canon, as well as a specially commissioned imposed piece. The competition was initially conceived as a one-time event to mark the 50th anniversary of the Banff Centre in 1983. It was proposed by Kenneth (Ken) Murphy (Manager of Extension Services) to the institution’s Anniversary Committee in November, 1980, and officially approved in 1981. Its proposed advantages were that it was “…closely related to the School’s activities, not something artificially conceived as an anniversary project”, while also bringing international recognition to the School and its anniversary, helping to promote the music program, and fulfilling a general need for more ensemble music competitions. Following the 1983 competition, it was decided to establish it as a recurring event, to take place every three years. In 1984 BISQC was accepted as a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions.

Executive Directors: Ken Murphy (1983 – 1996), Peter Gardner (1996 - 2006), Barry Shiffman (2006 - )
