Ivalas Quartet
The Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since their inception at the University of Michigan in 2017. Dedicated to the celebration of BIPOC voices, Ivalas seeks to disrupt the classical music world by continuously spotlighting BIPOC composers. The Quartet spent 2019–2022 in residence at the University of Colorado-Boulder under the mentorship of the Takács Quartet. They are winners of the 2019 WDAV Young Artist Chamber Music Competition and received the Grand Prize at the 2022 Coltman Competition. Through the Sphinx Organization, Ivalas has presented educational programming in the Metro Detroit area. In Colorado, they have developed a partnership with El Sistema Colorado and have been a part of the Aspen Music Festival Musical Connections program. The Ivalas Quartet has been named Juilliard’s 2022–2024 Graduate Resident String Quartet.
