Happy New Year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We’re so excited about David Conte’s new piece written especially for us!

Here’s what he has to say:

String Quartet No. 2 was composed between July 2009 and January 2010. I wrote my First String Quartet in 1979 as my Master’s Thesis at Cornell University, and having composed a great deal of music for strings in the intervening thirty years, I was delighted to be given the opportunity by the Ives Quartet to return to this rewarding and challenging medium.
