György Ligeti Trio for Horn, Violin & Piano

This special edition of Birdfoot Backstage will explore Ligeti’s vast tapestry of inspiration, ranging from echoes of Beethoven to medieval laments, African, Bulgarian and Indonesian rhythms, and the jazz greats Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans. It will also feature tasters from Ligeti’s Piano Études and a speedy tour of the horn’s musical symbolism from fairy tales to farewell songs, and include a full performance of Ligeti’s epic Horn Trio (subtitled 'Hommage à Brahms')
