Ivalas Quartet

Hailed by The Strad for playing with “tremendous heart and beauty,” the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception in 2017.

With a mission to enrich the classical music world by spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers alongside the standard repertory, The Ivalas Quartet served as the Graduate Resident String Quartet at The Juilliard School from 2022 to 2024. They were previously in residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder under the mentorship of the Takács Quartet.

In their Mondavi Center debut, the ensemble will perform Haydn’s String Quartet No. 4 “Sunrise”, known for its rising theme and perfect blend of elegance and innovation. They’ll also present Derrick Skye’s Deliverance, a recent transcultural work that fuses Persian classical melodies with rhythms from West and North Africa, creating a rich, cross-cultural musical experience. The program will conclude with Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 13, a profound exploration that moves from introspective depth to the sweeping energy of its reworked finale.
