We invite you to partner with California Music Center, producer of the  Irving M. Klein International String Competition, with your program book ad for our 37th Annual Competition June 4-5, 2022 in San Francisco.

For over 36 years, we’ve nurtured and championed the world’s finest young string players.  We support these exceptional players early in their careers, help them develop professional and performance skills, encourage community involvement, and provide paid performance opportunities and cash prizes.

The Klein enjoys international acclaim as one of the most prestigious classical music competitions in the world.  It’s recognized for the high caliber of the contestants (ages 15-23), its unique, nurturing environment, and its commitment to commissioning new works.

We produce a 8.5 x 5.5 program book for the two-day Competition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music; it’s also featured at 6-8 house concerts and other events annually. With a potential of 800 in-person attendees, published online to a worldwide audience, extending your reach to our patrons and livestream viewers.  This year-round exposure helps you reach a targeted, qualified audience.  Partnering with CMC demonstrates your community values and your dedication to the future of classical music.

AUDIENCE
The Klein audience is highly affluent, highly-educated and loves classical music. We attract a multi-generational audience, who both live throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and tune in online from all over the world.  You’ll reach these passionate patrons of the arts, as well as a subset of engaged parents of young string players, and engaged music students.  Our patrons will welcome messaging about your concert season, your curriculum, services, or products.
