"Changing Voices" responds to the idea of connections—composer to performer; humans to nature; technology to music—and how it is integrated into the fabric of music-making and always evolving. This concert's performances feature the Bergamot String Quartet as well as select composers performing their own works.
The 26th annual MATA Festival will be presented over four nights at Fotografiska New York, reflecting a newly forged relationship between the MATA Festival and the famed Contemporary Museum of Photography, Art and Culture in Gramercy. The theme of this year's festival, conceived in alignment with the museum's spring exhibition, is "INTEGRATION: Music/Technology + Human/Nature"—an exploration of human connection against the backdrop of ever-advancing technology that is changing how we relate to one another and make music.
About Music at the Anthology (MATA)
Music at the Anthology (MATA) is an incubator for adventurous emerging artists experimenting with composition, multi-media, collaborative performance art, and every imaginable sound in between. We present, support, and commission the music of early-career composers, regardless of their stylistic views or aesthetic inclinations. Founded by Philip Glass, Eleonor Sandresky, and Lisa Bielawa in 1996 as a way to address the lack of presentation opportunities for unaffiliated composers, MATA has since developed into the world’s most sought-after performance opportunity for young and emerging composers.
