The eighth edition of the Momenta Quartet’s Momenta Festival 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. In partnership with Music for Food, the September 30th and October 1st concerts at Broadway Presbyterian will benefit the Broadway Community; the festival continues October 4-5 at the Americas Society. Admission is free and no reservations are needed.

Momenta cellist Michael Haas’ program Looking Back kicks off the festival with works spanning three centuries in which each composer was inspired by musical traditions of the past. Special guest pianist Amy Yang joins the quartet for this concert.

Program:
Han Lash: Suite Remembered and Imagined
Matthew Greenbaum: More Venerable Canons
Franz Joseph Haydn: String Quartet in F minor, Op. 20 No. 5
