Programme
Overview
Echoing Beethoven’s tempestuous bond with Hummel, this concert traces the dramatic reunion of György Kurtág and György Ligeti. Immerse yourself in an evocative program where contrasting paths converge in a powerful musical dialogue.Beethoven’s fiery relationship with his protégé Johann Nepomuk Hummel—charmed, then fractured, and finally reconciled at the deathbed—sets the stage for a modern parallel between two 20th-century titans. After meeting in 1945 Budapest and parting ways through emigration and divergent compositional journeys, György Ligeti and György Kurtág reunite in this program to reclaim their shared Hungarian roots. Expect intimate piano works and bold sonic statements that shift from introspective whispers to soaring declarations, each phrase charged with the tension of rivalry and the warmth of reconciliation. Join us for an evening where history, personality and innovation converge in a tapestry of sound, revealing the enduring bonds that outlast both exile and time.
