Currently in its seventh and most prolific season, with 18 concerts, 12 premieres and collaborations with 21 living composers, the Momenta Quartet continues a strong spring indicative of its innovative programming; stylistically diverse and international in scope. After concerts and residencies at Rutgers University, Haverford College and Cornell University in March with acclaimed Indonesian vocalist Nyak Ina Raseuki (aka Ubiet), Momenta launches into May with two world premieres by Chinese American composer Jason Kao Hwang and a Koussevitzky commission by leading Chinese Malaysian composer Kee Yong Chong; a western premiere by Balinese composer Wayan Gde Yudane and New Zealand composer Jack Body as well as delving into the world
of Mexican microtonal maven Julián Carrillo. This spring marked the first time in its history that Momenta has brought international collaborators to the United States in the form of Ubiet and Chong.
Building upon the popularity of comedy acts appearing regularly in its Showroom, beginning May 7, The Orleans Hotel and Casino will devote a performance space solely to 'making them laugh' at Big Al's Comedy Club.
