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.
In the words of Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, "Music is, above all, a chant, a song the world sings about itself." On June 16, Momenta explores the influence of song and the human voice on this program featuring recent works by Silvestrov and American composers Elizabeth Brown and Shawn Jaeger.
