An evening of works by Lukas Ligeti as part of Modernity X Hungary, presented by the Hungarian Cultural Center and seeking an intensive artistic dialogue with the Bauhaus legacy and the exhibition of works by László Moholy-Nagy currently on view at the Guggenheim Museum, this concert also marks the beginning of Lukas’ curating at National Sawdust. The ensemble Contemporaneous, soprano Ariadne Greif and marimba virtuoso Ji Hye Jung will be featured in a program including the world premiere of a quintet for soprano and 4 musicians reflecting on Moholy-Nagy; Thinking Songs, a 30-minute tour de force for marimba, and works for chamber orchestra combining European modernism and African polyrhythms with the spirit of an American maverick experimentalist.
