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 17, Momenta celebrates the release of its CD Alvin Singleton: Four String Quartets on New World Records with a performance of his String Quartet No. 1 (1967) and Be Natural (1974), alongside Yusef Lateef's String Quartet No. 3 and a world premiere for bass and string quartet by jazz bassist Hilliard Greene.
