The Ives Quartet opens its season by previewing the Other Minds Dane Rudhyar Festival that takes place a few weeks from now. They will play Rudhyar's Crisis and Overcoming, (String Quartet No. 2, 1979). Quartets by Haydn and Dvořák complete the program in Occidental, where they are being presented by the Redwood Arts Council.
At Le Petit Trianon in San José, and St. Mark's Church in Palo Alto, the quartet is joined by Gwendolyn Mok for the Schumann Piano Quintet.
