György Kurtág has had an exceptionally influential career, which is of course no coincidence: in him, the world has discovered a composer and professor whose vast knowledge, unparalleled intensity at work and uncompromising humility towards music continue to fascinate and inspire artists to this day. This concert will honour György Kurtág on the occasion of his 99th birthday with Hungarian musicians working on the borders of jazz and contemporary music. In addition to Kurtág's own pieces, the programme will also feature new compositions, arrangements, and improvisations inspired by his works.
