RL&L: Concert of chamber music by the Mexican experimental composer Julián Carrillo (1875-1985) played by the Momenta Quartet

The Momenta Quartet will perform string quartets nos. 3, 6, and 8 by the visionary Mexican composer Julián Carrillo (1875-1985). This will be a unique opportunity to hear the rarely-played music of one of Latin America's most extraordinary musical figures and to experience the mystical overtones of his enigmatic Sonido 13 (microtonal music system). The Momenta Quartet played the world premiere of Carrillo's String Quartet No. 6 (ca. 1937) last year at the Festival Cervantino in Mexico. This Fall, at Harvard, the ensemble will play its Boston premiere. The concert will take place in Payne Concert Hall (Harvard University's Department of Music) at noon on October 12.
