Schedule, Summer 2026
PROGRAM CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
The premiere performances of our new commissioned work, "Petrichor" (Frank Horvat and Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm) for string quartet and voice have been delayed due to a scheduling conflict with the work's creators. We feel it is important for both of them to be present for its dedication and world premiere, and have made the difficult decision to hold the premiere until this is possible. All MOTB 2026 concerts will still go on as planned; "Petrichor" will be replaced by another wonderful string quartet by Frank Horvat.
