MATA FESTIVAL TOMORROW'S MUSIC TODAY February 24, 2025 | 7:30 PM MATA Presents at Carnegie Hill Concerts: "String Quartet" - a world premiere composed by Kebrá Seyoun Charles, performed by Dragonboot Quartet DragonBoot Members Katya Moeller and Catherine Carson, violins, Sydney Whipple, viola, Lila Holyoke, cello How does one listen to music? How is a listener's experience affected when listening to works in their entirety or albums as unified conceptual entities? How does that experience change when one focuses on individual movements? In addition to their quartet, Kebra has requested various movements of our quartet repertoire that inspired them in this musical collaboration. As we have chosen to perform select movements of larger works (rather than pieces in their entirety), we will discuss different approaches to listening throughout the performance, and how this sampled manner of listening alters the listener's (and performer's) experience. Program Janácek String Quartet No. 2 "Intimate Letters" (mvmt 1) Haydn String Quartet in B Minor, Op. 33 No. 1 (mvmt 3) Korngold String Quartet No. 2, op. 26 (mvmt 1) Beethoven String Quartet in F Major, Op. 135, (mvmts 2 and 4) Charles String Quartet (World Premiere)

Happy New Year (yes, in December!).

Advent calls us not to wait for a distant kingdom, but to wake up to the one breaking through now in justice, compassion, courage, and stubborn hope.

Small acts change worlds. Let’s begin again.

When hope flickers, God is still at work.
John the Baptist asked, “Are you the one?”
We ask too. And still—we hope.
📖 Matt 11 | Isa 43

In the time of Herod, we long for God to break in.
Advent begins in fear and waiting—not denial.
Even in silence, God is listening. Hope is being born.

🕯️ Luke 1:5–13 | Lam. 3:55–57

The Clock That Shouldn’t Still Be Ticking An attempt to understand how ordinary people, bit by bit, keep repairing the faith they’ve been given — and pass it on.

“The story of God continues ... because someone in every generation decides that the faith they have received is worth tending to for those who will come after them.”

Christ’s birth of a virgin declareth that He is fully God and fully man—begotten of the Father, born of Mary. A miracle to confound the proud, yet to the faithful, a cause for praise. God is with us! #WordMadeFlesh #AdventHope

Salvation in Advent: the promise fulfilled and yet awaited. Christ came in humility to redeem, comes now to transform, and shall come again to restore all things. Prepare ye, for salvation is near, already working and not yet complete. #AdventHope #SalvationNowAndNotYet
