    About This Event

    Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, Fran莽ois-Xavier Roth鈥檚 award-winning orchestra Les Si猫cles presents music from sonic pioneer Gy枚rgy Ligeti alongside two late works by Mozart 鈥� pieces separated by two centuries, but united by the spirit of revolution. Unperformed until 1971, Ligeti鈥檚 vibrant Concert Rom芒nesc (鈥楻omanian Concerto鈥�) is a light-footed celebration of Romanian folk music 鈥� real and invented. His Violin Concerto 鈥� performed here with German soloist Isabelle Faust 鈥� is one of the most original of any age, while Mozart鈥檚 final symphony, the 鈥楯upiter鈥�, with its astonishing finale, is the last word on the genre from a master innovator. Russian pianist Alexander Melnikov is the soloist in the composer鈥檚 Piano Concerto No. 23.
