The Ligeti Quartet are giving two performances at Bang on a Can’s acclaimed Long Play Festival which takes place at venues across Brooklyn, New York in early May.
They’ll perform Nuc by Anna Meredith (released by the Ligeti Quartet in 2023 to great acclaim) and Gyorgy Ligeti’s massive and massive influential string quartets. Written about 15 years apart, Ligeti transformed from being Bartok’s uncontested successor to becoming the guru of a new world of micro-sonic discovery. Both of these quartets changed the musical landscape, for everyone else, forever.
Following these performances at Long Play, they head to Philadelphia to play a show at Solar Myth, presented by Ars Nova Workshop.
