THIS MOMENTA CONCERT IS POSTPONED TO SEPT 15-18, 2022
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 15, David Byrd-Marrow and Nana Shi join Momenta on this program exploring the horn and its harmonies. Having premiered Hirofumi Mogi's In Memory of Perky Pat (2021) earlier this year, Momenta is reprising that whimsical piece for string quartet and French horn. With his Horn Trio, Johannes Brahms creates a sound world filled with overtones and consonance, and Grażyna Bacewicz turns that world upside down with quintal harmonies in the angular Piano Quintet No. 2 (1965).
