New Music: The Ligeti Quartet
Thu 16 January
Kettle's Yard House and Gallery
The Ligeti Quartet make a welcome return to the New Music Series. And they’ll be back with an evening dedicated to the musical giant who gave them their name, the Hungarian avant-garde sonic wizard György Ligeti. His music became famous after director Stanley Kubrick used it to such incredible effect in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti’s 2nd String Quartet captures a similar mood, flipping from ferocious intensity to the most astounding sense of stillness.
To complement Ligeti, this concert also features six new responses to his music, as part of the Nouvelle Etudes project. The Ligeti Quartet have commissioned some of today’s most exciting composers to create new works based on Ligeti’s own music, including those who knew and even studied with him.
Cost: £12 (£5 students)
