17 & January 18, 2024

Symphonic Concert

Symphonic Concert
Thursday, April 11, 2024 at 8:00 pm
A tribute to Haydn’s insatiable genius and ironic spirituality, with this electrifying programme that concludes with Ligeti’s enchanting sound textures—intricate polyphonies in which music seems both to be born and to disintegrate.
