Concert One: KURTÁG & SCHUBERT
Guest artists Pierre-Laurent Aimard, piano, and Tony Arnold, soprano

Conceived and curated by pianist Shai Wosner,  this annual three-day, four-concert festival explores the music of Hungarian composer György Kurtág (b. 1926), as well as that of composers who influenced or were influenced by him. Using Kurtág as a point of departure into music regardless of century or style, the Festival places different pieces and composers in a dialogue outside of time.

PROGRAM
Short solo piano works by Schubert and Kurtág, including US premieres of Kurtág works written during the pandemic
Pierre-Laurent Aimard, piano 
---
KURTÁG The Sayings of Peter Bornemisza Op. 7: Concerto for Soprano and Piano (1963-1968)
