LEWISTON — A string ensemble known for its dedication to music by contemporary composers and from cultures underrepresented in mainstream repertory, the Momenta Quartet joins the Bates College Gamelan Ensemble in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, in the Olin Arts Center Concert Hall, 75 Russell St.
Admission is $15 plus a convenience fee of $3 per ticket, available at batestickets.com. A limited number of free tickets for students and seniors 65-plus are available at bit.ly/oacbates. For more information, please contact 207-786-6135 or olinarts@bates.edu.
The program consists of “NONAME,” a composition from 2012 by Jesse Jones, and “Threnody for Carlos Chavez,” a 1979 work by the late Lou Harrison.
Despite its long history, gamelan remains a living musical force, says Gina Fatone, associate professor of music and director of the Bates Gamelan Ensemble. “Music for gamelan has become a global phenomenon — not only for listeners, but for composers as well.”
