Orchestral Concert: Ligeti 100

About the Event

In this highly‐anticipated concert, hear the sounds of music by Ligeti at Budapest's Liszt Academy.

In 2023, the Festival Orchestra pays homage to György Ligeti, born a hundred years ago, with a grand concert. One of the most significant composers of the post‐World War II half century, Ligeti bequeathed to us an extraordinarily colorful œuvre. He was interested in all periods of musical history, was attracted by literature, and, ever since his youth, he was tied up with mathematics. All this infiltrated into his works, always revealing layers for research that are often beyond music.
