Arts In Context will take behind the scenes to the follow up to the highly successful "String Quartet Smackdown I" from late 2012, this is a bracketed NCAA basketball tournament style competition using original string quartet compositions submitted by composers and musicians worldwide. Like March Madness for the ears. A jury of experts will select sixteen of these compositions to move on to the "Smackdown" where the audience will be directly involved in the process by texting a code to vote for their favorite piece as performed by a live string quartet.
