The musical universe of composer and percussionist Lukas Ligeti extends from improvisational through African traditional to electronic music, incorporating a wide variety of styles and sensibilities. He has a penchant for complex polymetric structures, and many of his works move to and fro between careful composition and free improvisation. Lukas Ligeti is currently professor of composition at Brussels’ Royal Academy of Music. The Budapest concert of his works will feature Ensemble Hopper, a group with a variable line-up that is enormously innovative as a team of creators and performers, and American marimba player Caitlin Jones, who will make her European debut now.
This concert of the Liszt Fest is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with the Budapest Music Center.
