Ives Quartet

The Ives Quartet has captivated audiences from San Francisco to New York, Taiwan to London. Committed to presenting the full scope of the string quartet literature, the Ives Quartet continues to earn critical and popular acclaim for depth and diversity of its programming, with repertoire ranging from recognized classics and neglected masterpieces of the past to new commissions and distinctive collaborations with guest artists.

The Ives Quartet combines the talent and experience of the international, solo, orchestral, chamber music and recording careers of its artist members - Robin Sharp, Susan Freier, Scott Woolweaver and Stephen Harrison. A seasoned ensemble, the four have performed for the past seven years as quartet-in-residence at the Rocky Ridge and Telluride Chamber Music Festivals. Each player is an acclaimed performer on his/her instrument, previously and currently earning distinction with other renowned chamber music ensembles including the Chester Quartet, the Boston Composers' String Quartet, the New England Piano Quartette and the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players. This variety and breadth in each artist's background contributes to the ensemble's unique sound.

Formerly in residence at Stanford University as the Stanford String Quartet since 1983, the quartet departed the university in September of 1998 to seek greater artistic independence. A fully independent touring and recording ensemble, the Ives Quartet now performs home season concert series in San Francisco, Palo Alto and Oakland, is quartet-in-residence at both the Rocky Ridge and Telluride Music Festivals in Colorado, and appears on noted chamber music series and festivals nationwide.
