The Ivalas Quartet is scheduled to perform on November 6 & 7 with classical music by Alberga, Golijov and Beethoven at the Grusin Music Hall on CU Boulder Campus. Composed of violinists Reuben Kebede and Tiani Butts, violist Aimée McAnulty and cellist Pedro Sánchez, the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since their inception at the University of Michigan in 2017. Ivalas seeks to disrupt the classical music world by continuously spotlighting BIPOC composers such as Jessie Montgomery, Daniel Bernard Roumain, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Eleanor Alberga.
