"This roughhewn former public bath on bustling Fourth Avenue provided an ideally funky setting for MATAs experimental aesthetic."

Steve Smith

"Since the Bang on a Can Festival moved uptown a decade ago, it has become a more polished enterprise and lost some of the funkiness and sense of adventure of its salad days. But more and more, the MATA Festival has picked up the slack."

Allan Kozinn
The New York Times, May 2, 2004

"The MATA Festival, once presented at the Anthology Film Archives (the name is an acronym for Music at the Anthology), has migrated from the East Village to Chelsea, but its freewheeling spirit has remained intact."

The New York Times, May 14, 2004

"MATA Festival named #1 Classical Music Moment of the Year!"

The New York Times, December 28, 2003

"Zany new music, but quirkily compelling."

"Plenty of things scare us, but that doesn't stop us. In fact, if it scares us, we get more excited about it and try to figure out how we can do it."
