We can’t believe it’s already been a month since these 12 talented young musicians joined us in Kalamazoo for the 2026 Stulberg Competition! It was a fantastic weekend for the books, with one Semifinalist telling us that it was an “Overall wonderful experience, and I already recommend participating to my fellow musicians”. Check out these awesome action shots of all of our 2026 Semifinalists!
