Momenta Quartet presents its annual Momenta Festival June 14-17. Four nights of diverse chamber music programming, each curated by a different member of the quartet. With programs that blend the old and new, the "intriguing programming" (The New York Times) and "striking originality" (I Care If You Listen) of the Momenta Festival have been acclaimed by critics and fans alike.
On June 14, Momenta presents the world premiere of David Glaser's String Quartet No. 5 (2022), written for Momenta in memory of Mario Davidovsky, alongside Davidovsky's intricate Synchronisms No. 9 (1988) for violin and recorded electronic sounds. This exploratory evening also includes the late great Ursula Mamlok's elegant Two Bagatelles (1961), rediscovered toward the end of the composer’s life in a hidden sketchbook; Mexican microtonal trailblazer Julián Carrillo's final String Quartet No. 13 (1964); and Beethoven's groundbreaking "Serioso" quartet.
