Kodály: Summer Evening
Ligeti: Hamburg Concerto
Kodály: Dances of Galanta
Dvořák: Symphony No5

Robin Ticciati: conductor; Alec Frank-Gemmill: horn

Millions ‘discovered’ Ligeti without realising it when Kubrick peppered he soundtrack of 2001: A Space Odyssey with his work. It gave him popular success, and few would dispute that he is one of the five most important composers of the past 40 years. Here is a chance, over two weeks, to hear two very different but equally fine scores by him. The ‘Hamburg’ Concerto pays tribute to Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. Ticciati performs it with popular favourites from Central Europe.

Pre-Concert Talk 6.30pm (free to ticket holders): Dr Michael Searby talks about the music of György Ligeti.
