Hailed by The Strad magazine for playing with “tremendous heart and beauty,” the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception in 2017. Composed of violinists Reuben Kebede and Tiani Butts, violist Marcus Stevenson and cellist Pedro Sanchez, Ivalas seeks to enhance the classical music world by consistently spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers.

 

Recently, The Ivalas Quartet served as the Graduate Resident String Quartet at The Juilliard School, where they studied with the Juilliard String Quartet. They were previously in residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder under the mentorship of the Takács Quartet. Performing on concert series all throughout the USA, the quartet has been presented by the Austin Chamber Music Center, Newport Classical, Schneider Concerts, Community Concerts at Second in Baltimore, Friends of Chamber Music Denver and CU Presents where they collaborated with the Takács Quartet in 2020 and 2022. In May of 2023, they presented their first full program at Carnegie Hall, titled First Light. In 2022, Ivalas won the grand prize at the Coltman Chamber Music Competition, as well as first prize at the 2019 WDAV Young Chamber Musicians Competition. https://www.ivalasquartet.com/
