ABOUT THIS EVENT
This concert features a diverse selection of works by composers Anestis Logothetis, György Kurtág, Wolfgang Rihm, and Gerald Grisey. Logothetis was particularly interested in exploring the relationship between sound and space, and this is evident in the way that his “Dynapolis” creates a vivid and immersive sonic environment. This is followed by Kurtág’s Wind Quintet, Op. 2, a powerful and intimate work that showcases the composer’s distinctive voice. The concert continues with Rihm’s “Epilog,” a dramatic and emotive string quintet that puts the limelight on the two cello and showcases the composer’s virtuosity. The concert concludes with Grisey’s “Périodes,” a sweeping and immersive work that explores the concept of time, sound and space.
