More Information
For tickets: Taka Kigawa performs Complete Liget Etudes - Monday September 11 - LPR
Taka Kigawa performs the complete piano etudes by György Ligeti to commemorate his centennial. This unique music comprises one of the most innovative suites of the contemporary piano repertoire, and it has long been a staple of Kigawa’s repertoire.
The New York Times headlined a rave review for his live performance of this dauntingly challenging music: “Taka Kigawa Masters the Conflicting Rhythms of Ligeti Etudes,” while San Francisco Classical Voice bannered: “Ligeti Etudes Ignite Under Taka Kigawa’s Fingers.” And from The Wall Street Journal: “The pianist Taka Kigawa gave an electrifying traversal of all 18 Ligeti Études, a kaleidoscopic set of works that demands the unrelenting energy and precision that are Mr. Kigawa’s specialties."
This concert will certainly be an exciting and memorable one.
Doors open at 7:00 PM.
