About the Momenta Festival

Momenta Festival IX features four diverse chamber music programs, each curated by a 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.

The ninth edition of the festival celebrates two anniversaries: 150 years of Charles Ives and 20 years of Momenta Quartet. Each night a work by Ives will be performed by the quartet and special guests.

Admission is free with a suggested donation ($40/adult, $15/student); no tickets or RSVPs are necessary. All proceeds will go to Broadway Community.
