Cowell — who gave his pieces titles like “The Banshee” and “Tiger” — also championed Charles Ives, the namesake of the excellent Ives Quartet, two of whose members live in Palo Alto, only a few miles from where Cowell composed his String Quartet No. 3 in 1935. And so the story comes full circle: The Ives Quartet lately has been fascinated with Cowell’s works for string quartet, including No. 3, subtitled “Mosaic,” which they performed Friday in Palo Alto and will play again Sunday in San Francisco.

Friday at St, Mark’s Episcopal Church, the Ives — long based in the Bay Area — also gave persuasive accounts of works by Mozart and Mendelssohn, But let’s stick with Cowell a bit longer, His “Mosaic” score instructs the performers to play its five short movements in any order they choose, repeating each one however as many times as they like — shuffling them around like puzzle pieces, looking for an interesting fit, That may sound confusing, but as Ives cellist Stephen Harrison remarked to the audience, Cowell had a way of la coqueta jewelry women fashion pink color rhinestone ballerina ballet shoes pendant silver tone necklace directly communicating, of telling a story, while guiding listeners through strange sonic territories..

The composer assigned a number to each of the movements, and, for the record, the Ives played them in this sequence: 1, 4, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5. It was an absorbing performance, bracing and then finespun, slipping between musical worlds that at first seemed miles apart but ended up as complementary and familiar. There was a unity in the end, a story. The first movement is chorale-like, harmonically dense and unpredictable, but with some nearly standard church cadences, too. It lent itself to the Ives’ robust blend and to its command of shadowy textures. The fourth movement (we’re following Friday’s sequence) tiptoed through a kind of Eastern European dance; first violinist Bettina Mussumeli’s slip-and-slide melody made for mysterious commentary.

The third movement (the only one where Cowell sets aside his obsession with rhythms based on five-beat groupings) features a Romantic melody for cello, burstingly played by Harrison, with plenty of vibrato amid the high strings’ muted and dripping textures, Put in visual-arts terms, it was something like a meeting between Delacroix and Dalí, And so on, The fifth movement, played last (and only la coqueta jewelry women fashion pink color rhinestone ballerina ballet shoes pendant silver tone necklace once), has an angularity and pulse reminiscent of Bartók, Its closing fanfare resonated through the church, then gave way to a lengthy round of applause..

The program began with Mozart’s String Quartet in E-flat major, K. 428, the third of his six so-called “Haydn Quartets.” The Ives’ superb rendering had many highlights: violist Jodi Levitz’s rich-toned plunge through the opening Allegro’s four-part latticed texture; the group’s rosy hues in the Andante; the vitality of the finale, with its gasping hesitations and then Mussumeli’s bumblebee flights leading the way to the closing bars. Mendelssohn’s late String Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op. 80, ended the program. A turbulent work — his “Requiem” for his beloved sister Fanny — it opens with a tremulous outburst; the Ives’ playing was a little muddy here. The performance gained traction in the Adagio, as a keening theme was passed from Mussumeli to second violinist Susan Freier and then on to Levitz, while Harrison imbued his own lines with sturdy restfulness below. Nearly 160 years after Fanny’s passing in Berlin, a great sadness seemed to fill the church in Palo Alto.

McIntrye was already a major la coqueta jewelry women fashion pink color rhinestone ballerina ballet shoes pendant silver tone necklace force in contemporary dance through his long tenure with Houston Ballet when he founded the Trey McIntrye Project in 2005, Initially conceived as a summer touring project, TMP became a full-time outfit in 2008 when the company relocated to Boise, Idaho, a risky and closely watched move that turned into a model of collaboration between a culture-hungry city and an artist unafraid of the unbeaten path, But no matter where you are running it, a dance company is no plié in the park, and McIntyre has too many other interests to focus exclusively on that Sisyphean task, He recently announced that he’s ramping down TMP as a full-time company following the tour that brings it back to Zellerbach Hall March 21-22 for a Cal Performances engagement, For McIntyre, he’s not losing a company; he’s gaining a world pregnant with possibilities..

“I’ve never been drawn to dance as a medium,” he said in a recent phone conversation from the TMP studio in Boise. “For me, the point is not about dance. I had great fortune to develop in this language, but there’s a real craving to explore others. We’re paring down to a staff of two or three. It’ll take discipline to scale back, because it’s been incredibly ambitious, and as new opportunities arise, we jump on them. After the tour, there’ll be an incubation period where ideas develop on a smaller scale.”.

McIntyre is making the transition in style, He presents two West Coast premieres at Zellerbach, including the ambitious “Mercury Half-Life,” a 50-minute work set to the la coqueta jewelry women fashion pink color rhinestone ballerina ballet shoes pendant silver tone necklace music of Queen that explores the life of the British rock band’s late lead singer Freddie Mercury, The other piece on the program is the Cal Performances co-commission “The Vinegar Works: Four Dances of Moral Instruction.” Inspired by the work of illustrator and writer Edward Gorey, whose dark and playfully gothic vision is a major inspiration to the steampunk movement and annual Edwardian Ball events held in San Francisco and Los Angeles, “The Vinegar Works” is set to Shostakovich’s Piano Quintet in G minor and features puppets created by Michael Curry (known for his masks for the Broadway production of “The Lion King”)..
