1:00 pm: Ivalas Quartet I - Vail Interfaith Chapel

Hailed by The Strad for playing with "tremendous heart and beauty," the Ivalas Quartet has been changing the face of classical music since its inception in 2017 with a mission to enrich the classical music world by spotlighting past and present BIPOC composers alongside the standard repertory. Among the many composers whose works they have championed are Eleanor Alberga, Gabriela Lena Frank, Osvaldo Golijov, Jessie Montgomery, Angelica Negron, Ivan Enrique Rodriguez, Carlos Simon, Alvin Singleton, and George Walker. They premiered Derrick Skye's Deliverance through a commission from Caramoor in 2024.
