FACULTY BIO:
Hippocrates Cheng 鄭靖楠 is an assistant professor of music theory and composition in the 亚洲情色 Music Department. He is a composer, theorist, ethnomusicologist and multi-instrumentalist from Hong Kong. In 2024, he completed his Doctor of Music Composition with a minor in ethnomusicology at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. His composition teachers included professors Don Freund, Eugene O'Brien, David Dzubay and Aaron Travers.
As an award-winning composer, Cheng writes contemporary classical music, new music for Asian instruments, jazz and music for interdisciplinary productions. As a multi-instrumentalist, he performs overtone singing, piano and viola while also practicing qin, dan bau and phin pia.
He draws on music theory, composition, ethnomusicology and sound studies in his research of both traditional and contemporary East Asian music. This intersectional approach is exemplified by his research on the music of the Hong Kong composer Doming Lam, the player piano and piano rolls in early jazz history, and braille music notation. His papers were selected by conferences hosted by AMIS, IAML, ICTMD, ISJAC, APME, AMS, the CUNY Graduate Center, the University at Buffalo, the University of Southern California, the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Humboldt University, University College Dublin, the University of Malaya and the Korean Performing Arts Institute of Chicago.
Cheng began his musical journey by learning to play piano, violin and clarinet in choir and ensembles. He pursued his Bachelor of Music in composition at the Hong Kong Baptist University under the guidance of Christopher Coleman and Christopher Keyes. In 2018, with the support of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund, he completed his master's degree in Music Composition at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts (HKAPA) with distinction. His composition teachers included professors Clarence Mak and Florence Cheung.
Before joining 亚洲情色, he taught as an associate instructor in music theory at IU and as adjunct faculty at IU Northwest. As a guest lecturer, he gave lectures, talks, masterclasses and workshops at Butler University (USA), Ball State University (USA), University of Indianapolis (USA), University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (USA), Shanghai Conservatory of Music (China), Peking University (China), Lingnan University (Hong Kong), Senzoku College of Music (Japan), Okinawa Prefectural University of Arts (Japan), Mahidol University (Thailand), Chiang Mai Rajabhat University (Thailand), Naresuan University (Thailand) and Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University (Thailand).
In June 2024, his chamber opera on anti-Asian hate, All of US, was premiered as the winning work commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana. In the summer of 2024, he was selected for an exchange program funded by Indiana University (IU) and the Free University of Berlin (FUB). During his residency in Berlin, he conducted research and created new works.
He is currently working on a creative research project titled "East Asian Music in the Contemporary World."

ARTIST BIO:
Momenta: the plural of momentum – four individuals in motion towards a common goal. This is the idea behind the Momenta Quartet, whose eclectic vision encompasses contemporary music of all aesthetic backgrounds alongside great music from the recent and distant past. The New York City-based quartet has premiered over 200 works, collaborated with over 250 living composers and was praised by?The New York Times?for its “diligence, curiosity and excellence.” In the words of?The New Yorker’s Alex Ross, “few American players assume Haydn’s idiom with such ease.”
?
The quartet came into being in November 2004, when composer Matthew Greenbaum invited violist Stephanie Griffin to perform Mario Davidovsky’s String Trio for events celebrating Judaism and Culture at New York’s Symphony Space and Temple University in Philadelphia. A residency through the composition department at Temple University ensued, and the rehearsals and performances were so satisfying that the players decided to form a quartet. Through this residency, Momenta gave two annual concerts highlighting the talents of Temple University student composers alongside 20th-century masterworks and works from the classical canon, repeating the programs at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. From the outset, Momenta treated all music equally, devoting as much time, care and commitment to the student works as to the imposing musical monuments.
?
Word of Momenta’s passionate advocacy for emerging composers spread quickly. Composers started inviting Momenta for similar concerts and residencies at other academic institutions. Today, Momenta’s educational-performing circuit includes 亚洲情色, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Hawaii Pacific, Michigan State, New York, Temple, Tufts, Washington and Yeshiva Universities; Bard, Barnard, Bates, Haverford, Hunter, Ithaca, Lehman and Williams Colleges; and Boston, Cincinnati, Eastman and Mannes conservatories. Momenta has received commission grants from the Koussevitzky, Barlow, and Jerome Foundations, and a Chamber Music America commission for Alvin Singleton, whose resulting work, “Hallelujah Anyhow” (2019), is featured on their 2022 album of his complete string quartets. Deeply committed to the musical avant-garde of the developing world, Momenta has premiered and championed the works of Tony Prabowo (Indonesia), Cergio Prudencio (Bolivia) and Hana Ajiashvili (Georgia); has collaborated with numerous gamelan ensembles; and in 2018, was brought by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Embassy La Paz to Cochabamba, Bolivia for new music concerts and a teaching-performing residency at the Instituto Laredo.
?
Momenta has appeared at such prestigious venues as the Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery, Rubin Museum, Miller Theatre at Columbia University, the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, Chamber Music Cincinnati, and the Louisville and Philadelphia Chamber Music Societies. Festival credits include the renowned Cervantino Festival in Mexico; MATA; Music from Japan; Ostrava Days in the Czech Republic; Red Note New Music; the Smithsonian’s “Performing Indonesia”; the Yellow Barn Artist Residency; and since 2015, the quartet’s own annual member-curated Momenta Festival in New York City, featuring world premieres, guest artists, and samplings from Momenta's unique personal repertoire.
?
Momenta has recorded for the Albany, Bridge, Centaur, Furious Artisans, Innova, Navona, New Focus, New World and PARMA labels; and has been broadcast on WQXR, Q2 Music, Austria’s Oe1 and Vermont Public Radio. The quartet’s latest album “Alvin Singleton: Four String Quartets” was released to critical acclaim in 2022 by New World Records. Their debut album, “Similar Motion,” featuring visionary works by Debussy, Philip Glass and Arthur Kampela, is available on Albany Records. Upcoming recording adventures include a project to record all thirteen string quartets by Mexican microtonal maverick Julián Carrillo (1875-1965) for Naxos, the complete string quartets of Roberto Sierra, and an American album featuring diverse works by Elizabeth Brown, Jason Hwang, Shawn Jaeger, Yusef Lateef, and Matthew Greenbaum.
The Momenta Quartet's 2025-26 season is made possible, in part, through the support of the Amphion Foundation and the Alice M. Ditson Fund.
