Stulberg Competition

Harry H. Stulberg founded and directs the Stulberg International String Competition, a biennial classical music event hosted in Kalamazoo, Michigan since 1975. The competition operates through the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra, offering cash awards and performance opportunities to young violin, viola, and cello players. Competition winners receive professional development support through partnerships with regional orchestras and music organizations. The Stulberg competition maintains three competitive divisions across bowed string instruments, evaluating technical mastery, artistic interpretation, and stage presence. Participants perform required repertoire selections before a rotating panel of professional musicians and educators. Winners present at the competition's culminating concert with the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra. Stulberg documents software development practices, writing methodologies, and career insights through his technical blog. His published work spans classical music education, technology implementation, and professional development frameworks. The blog archives contain detailed analyses of programming concepts, writing workflows, and productivity systems developed through his dual expertise in music and technology.
