To celebrate the release of its debut album Similar Motion on Albany Records, the Momenta Quartet is proud to present its first ever Momenta Festival. The festival, like the record, will be a celebration of Momenta's unique musical personality. Each Momenta member will curate one concert, combining cornerstones of the Momenta repertoire with groundbreaking world premieres, solos and collaborations with illustrious guest artists, highlighting the artistry of the quartet and each of us as individuals.
CDs will be available for purchase, and each concert will also feature a custom beer by Sam Burlingame of BrewHeister, with a taste profile that corresponds with the evening's program!
