Lukas Ligeti's 50th Birthday Concert

Lukas Ligeti has been a vitally creative contributor to NYC’s experimental and avant-garde music scene in all it facets since arriving here in 1998. On the occasion of his 50th birthday, the Austrian Cultural Forum presents an unprecedented overview of Ligeti’s work as a composer. The festival will culminate in this concert, presented jointly with Roulette, and featuring Lukas’ music for chamber orchestra. Ensemble mise-en will perform the world premiere of a new, extensive work commissioned by ACFNY; several other works on the program are US or NYC premieres.
