The Ives Quartet

The Ives Quartet has captivated audiences from San Francisco to New York; London to Taiwan and will be playing on the Mendocino coast on April 1, 2012.

In a departure from convention, the Ives Quartet combines players with American and European experience and sensibilities, drawing on the talent and experience of the International, solo, orchestral, chamber, and recording careers of its artist members.

The Ives Quartet has a reputation for passion and precision, winning accolades for playing that shows both super-refinement and visceral, with rock n roll intensity. The Ives Quartet has attracted critical enthusiasm for its practice of reveling in the unfamiliar and has an eclectic repertoire of established masterworks and neglected scores of early twentieth century America, and specially commissioned new pieces. The Ives Quartet members share a strong commitment to the special challenges of the string-quartet composers, with carefully curated concert presentation that immerses the audience.

The Quartet shares a personal commitment to shaping the next generation of classical music performers which the Quartet devotes a big portion of its year round work to string-ensemble coaching and music education.

In there upcoming concert, they will be performing works by Haydn, Quincy Porter, and Schubert’s Death and the Maiden Quartet. The concert will be starting at 3:00 pm., at the Fort Bragg Presbyterian Church, 367 South Sanderson, Fort Bragg. The cost is $20.
