Momenta Quartet in New Hampshire last month

Welcome back from your summer adventures... We refuse to believe that the summer is over - and, it's NOT! We have until September 22 (at 2:19pm Eastern), and let's make the most of it.

All of us went on our own travels this summer, but we convened in mid-August at the Avaloch Farm Music Institute in New Hampshire, where we started gearing up for our TENTH Momenta Festival on October 4 & 5 at Broadway Presbyterian Church, and October 8 & 9 at Americas Society.

All concerts are at 7pm, and as usual ALL CONCERTS ARE FREE!

See Momenta this Fall!
