🎼"The final masterpiece of twentieth-century music" — Alex Ross, on Kurtág's opera
Coffee and tea social between lecture and concert

Spend an afternoon with György Kurtág's haunting, intimate chamber works: a preconcert lecture by Budapest musicologist Gergely Fazekas unpacks how the reclusive Hungarian composer "seeks the truth" in every note, followed by performances of his piano four-hands pieces, Wind Quintet, and selections from Játékok alongside works by Mozart and the Bach family.
