Meg Quigley Partnership
This year we have partnered with the Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition to allow for new opportunities for Bassoons Without Borders participants.
Meg Quigley
The mission of The Meg Quigley Vivaldi Competition is to provide an international competitive experience of the highest caliber for young women bassoonists in the Americas to build their confidence, hone their talents, and provide valuable experience towards performance careers.
We strive to promote inclusivity and accessibility in our field, and we aim to allow access to all who wish to work with world-renown artists. With your help, we have the opportunity to change the landscape of the field and inspire all bassoonists who wish to grow in their musical journey.
