Emissary Quartet: [moment]um’s next Boston-area show is October 25, 2026 at The Lilypad.
The Emissary Quartet is a flute ensemble that plays contemporary classical music on flutes and auxiliary flutes. Its programme [moment]um follows the Japanese idea of jo-ha-kyu, opening in slow, meditative soundscapes and building into fast, rhythmically intricate writing. Everything on it is by living composers, among them Jennifer Higdon and Nicky Sohn.
