Ivalas Quartet Residency
MacPhail Center for Music is thrilled to host the Ivalas Quartet for a one-week residency (October 23-30, 2022) as part of the Madeline Island Chamber Music Emerging Artists Quartet-in-Residence.

“To me, music is like food. It nourishes me. I need to have at least 5 meals a day. I’m a musician because I really like to ‘eat’. Teaching comes naturally to me because sharing food, I mean music, brings me tremendous joy. Seeing the lightbulbs sparkle in my students’ eyes makes teaching extremely enjoyable. My students learn a lot about music through laughter, in my opinion, it’s the best way to learn!”
