Festival of Hungarian Gems 2. - LUKÁCS MIKLÓS: RESPONSES TO LIGETI // CIMBIOSIS TRIO & LIGETI ENSEMBLE

Featuring:

Cimbiosis Trio:

Miklós Lukács - cimbalom
György Orbán - double bass
István Baló - drums

Ligeti Ensemble wind players:

Orsolya Kaczander flute, Dániel Ella oboe, Csaba Klenyán clarinet, Bálint Mohai bassoon, János Benyus horn

Artists knowing no boundaries will take Ligeti's legacy into their own hands and shape it further. In the first set, two small ensembles will demonstrate that the inspiration of the Hungarian composer's oeuvre is still present in contemporary jazz. The musicians of the Ligeti Ensemble under the auspices of Concerto Budapest will play the challenging Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet, which will be answered by Miklós Lukács' Cimbiozis Trio, blurring the (often thin) line between contemporary music and jazz. The collaboration was initiated by Miklós Lukács, and after the two bands presented the project at BMC's Ligeti 100 festival in May, they also recorded it, and the resulting album will soon be released on BMC Records.
