Profile
[György Ligeti 100th Anniversary Lecture & Concert Executive Committee]
We are planning and implementing a four-part "György Ligeti 100th Anniversary Lecture & Concert" series over a three-year span, from 2023, the centennial of Ligeti's birth, to 2026, the 20th anniversary of his death. Each event will have a Ligeti-related theme, and will be planned as both a lecture and a concert. Among the major contemporary composers, Ligeti's music is one that combines expertise with popular appeal, and the purpose of this project is to widely convey the message of this composer, who lived through war and turmoil, to future generations.
