The BSQ performs with winners of the 2025-26 BSQ Guest Artist Award. The GAA provides students of the New England Conservatory the opportunity to perform with the Borromeo String Quartet in Jordan Hall. Awarded annually, students are chosen through a three-day audition process which includes solo playing and chamber music reading with the BSQ. Established in 2001, there have been over 80 winners to date in performances spanning more than 20 years.
