Ives Quartet
Mohajer’s music combines the influences of his Persian homeland with a unique approach to harmony, counterpoint and poly-tonality in his compositions. The result is music that is melodic, unusual and completely accessible.

Mohajer’s works will be presented alongside the music of his composition teacher and mentor, Giancarlo Aquilanti. A prolific composer and award-winning educator, Aquilanti is currently director of the Music Theory Program at Stanford University.

The Ives Quartet has established a reputation for passion, precision, and provocative programming, winning accolades for playing that shows both super-refinement and visceral, rock-and-roll intensity.
