György Ligeti became a classic and a canonized master of 20th-century Hungarian and universal music history already in his lifetime. Yet even on the centenary of his birth, his intriguing personality and his unparalleled oeuvre resist the reverential gesture of being turned into a statue. more

This celebratory concert is proof of this, with a programme of Ligeti's stunning and astonishing masterpieces, as well as homage compositions by György Kurtág, Péter Eötvös and László Vidovszky. László Vidovszky, in his 2006 Ligeti obituary, wrote of his great colleague: “He composed radical and provocative pieces, as well as a requiem. He wrote electronic music at a time when very few people believed in this technique, revived great romantic musical forms and redefined the concept of piano music [...]. He can be considered a forerunner of the vast and fragmented knowledge of the present age, but at the same time he was also the holder and depositary of indivisible old knowledge in every sense.”

A „ballad” played by jazz musicians and singers is supposed to be slow and is typically about romantic feelings. What the leader of MAO, Kornél Fekete-Kovács adds regarding their choice of ballads for this program is that so much could be grouped here, anything that is rather introvert and fits the mood of the season. The repertoire of the big band contains a lot of traditional, and quite many unusual ballads.
Founded in 2018, the Korossy Quartet aims to transmit the famous Hungarian string quartet tradition, and to present the broadest possible repertoire to Hungarian and foreign audiences.
