The Briggs Competition is made possible by support from the Dale & Nancy Briggs Chamber Music Endowed Enrichment Fund and is named in honor of its benefactors. The fund was established in 2004 and endowed in 2006, to support program and/or scholarship needs in chamber music.

The annual competition was launched in 2014, with guest judges selecting winners from groups representing the breadth of SMTD’s chamber music offerings.

Groups perform mini-recitals of 25 minutes, showcasing the breadth of their work throughout the year. Prizes are given to the top three groups, plus honorable mentions and a Michigan Prize for the best performance of a piece written by a Michigan composer.

Groups will perform from 1:00 to 4:15 pm, with a 15-minute break at 2:30 pm. Immediately following the performances, join us for a reception in Kevreson Hall and the winners’ announcement at approximately 5:00 pm.
