To start the summer, the sixth iteration of the Momenta Festival will take place at Americas Society. Since 2015, the adventurous ensemble has presented four programs during the one-week festival, each curated by a different member of the ensemble, resulting in "intriguing programming" (The New York Times) acclaimed by critics and fans alike. After taking a hiatus in 2020, we are delighted to welcome them back on our virtual stage.

The broadcast will take place at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific.
