About This Event

Blending musical traces of Ligeti鈥檚 Hungarian roots with all the formal patterning and processes of the mature, avant-garde composer, Ligeti鈥檚 choral works are among his most attractive. Whimsy and playfulness meets method head-on, and the collision is an exhilarating one. This programme from the 成人快手 Singers covers the complete stylistic gamut of this repertoire, ranging from the luminous beauty of the Lux Aeterna to the surreal invention of the Nonsense Madrigals.
