NY Phil Biennial Celebrates György Ligeti

As part of the New York Philharmonic’s Biennial Festival, Alan Gilbert conducts the Ensemble of the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ALUMNI in a three-concert series titled “Ligeti Forward”.

The series explores the work of composer György Ligeti approximately ten years after his death through three of his concerti—the Piano Concerto (June 3), performed by Conor Hanick, Cello Concerto (June 4), performed by Jay Campbell, and Violin Concerto (June 5), performed by Pekka Kuusisto—alongside works by his students Unsuk Chin and Gérard Grisey, as well as music by Alexandre Lunsqui, Marc-André Dalbavie, Dai Fujikura and John Zorn.

The performances take place at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Ligeti Forward was conceived and programmed by cellist Jay Campbell, and is co-presented by the New York Philharmonic, LUCERNE FESTIVAL, and MetLiveArts, the performance series at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Details on the performances can be found at nyphil.org.
