September, 2012 saw the premiere of Welcher's new Museon Polemos at the University of Texas. For the occasion, the performing ensemble included two world-class string quartets, the Shanghai Quartet and the Miro Quartet. Labeled as a '25 minute ballet without dancers,' Museon Polemos pits the two string quartets against one another in an Apollonian/Dionysian contrast of music and mood with the Shanghai quartet as the thoughtful, cool former and the Miro quartet as the visceral, earthy latter. ...Welcher took inspiration primarily from Stravinsky's later ballets of the '30s and '40s when composing his work.
