The Ives Quartet is composed of Bettina Mussumeli, violin, Susan Freier, violin, Jodi Levitz, viola, and Stephen Harrison, cello. The Ives quartet has captivated audiences from San Francisco to New York, London, and Taiwan. Committed to presenting the full scope of the string quartet literature, the Quartet continues to earn critical and popular acclaim for the depth and diversity of its programming. They produce home season concert series in San Francisco, San Jose, and Palo Alto, and devote time to a wide range of educational projects, from K-12 activities for children to annual concert and teaching residencies at universities.

The Ives Quartet is a combination of players with American and European experience and sensibilities, drawing on the talent and experience of the international, orchestral, solo, chamber, and recording careers of its artist members. Each is an acclaimed performer on his/her instrument, and Ives Quartet members have earned distinction with other acclaimed chamber music ensembles.
