Signs, Games, and Messages is an annual new music festival celebrating the compositions and musical legacy of the great  Hungarian composer György Kurtág. Kurtag’s compositions speak with a radically new voice, and yet they draw deeply and broadly on the standard musical repertoire. Similarly, Signs, Games, and Messages celebrates both the new and the old. It aims to revitalize the connections between the standard repertoire and the innovative compositions of our own time, with Kurtág’s music as the focal point.

This festival has been permanently endowed through the generous support of the László Z. Bitó and Olivia Cariño Foundation.
