Praised by the Washington Post for “an extraordinary musical experience” and by the New York Times for its “diligence, curiosity and excellence,” the Momenta Quartet is celebrated for its innovative programming, juxtaposing contemporary works with great music from the past. Momenta has premiered over 80 works and collaborated with over 100 living composers while maintaining a deep commitment to the classical canon. In the words of The New Yorker’s Alex Ross, “few American players assume Haydn’s idiom with such ease.”  Momenta Quartet is linked in through Adda Kridler, a Coshocton native and daughter of Anne Cornell and David Kridler.

40 NORTH TROMBONE QUARTETÂ
performing for the GRAND ARTS DINNERÂ 300 Block Main Street
Saturday May 2, 5:30pm Â
The 40 North Trombone Quartet grew out of a conviction that live music should not be reserved for the concert hall. While music infuses our daily life, it is more often played by a stereo than by artists. The quartet’s members play in orchestras from West Virginia to Iowa but all live on the 40th parallel and come together to enrich their communities with the energy of live music. From neighborhood festivals to holiday occasions to chamber recitals, 40 North’s unforgettable performances help create the perfect event. The group is linked to in through trombonist Lucas Kaspar. Lucas lives in Coshocton with his son and wife Taisha who teaches math at River View Junior High.
Quartet members: Lucas Kaspar Coshocton, OH; Benjamin Coy Columbus, OH; Evan Robinson Wheeling, WV; Joel Shonkwiler Columbus, OH
