Upcoming events

The Ligeti Quartet performs with students from the Royal Academy of Music (RAM), in a programme focused on György Ligeti's Ramifications as part of the composer's centenary celebrations.

Join the Ligeti Quartet and friends for an enticing programme of György Ligeti's music, including the incredible Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes.

An exploration of Ligeti’s unique take on the fundamental elements of music from the playful Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes to Bartók-inspired Quartet No.1, modernist Quartet No.2, and the uncertain harmonies and tangled textures of Ramifications.

Ligeti Quartet return The Fire Station to play a full suite of music by Anna Meredith and Steve Reich alongside new music by three of the region’s most adventurous composers, Peter Brewis, Ross Millard & Faye MacCalman.

“Imprisoned Absence” is a close collaboration between composer, Vernon C David and scientist/poet, Banafshé Larijani, exploring the symbolic imagery of the collective conscious.

Banafshé Larijani scientist/poet is the Director of the Centre for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI-Bath), University of Bath.

Anna Meredith has achieved incredible success straddling multiple musical worlds, never compromising her raw, individual style. This concert features the Ligeti Quartet’s new album Nuc, providing a survey of Meredith’s career to date, heard through her original works for string quartet. New arrangements of Meredith’s music by the Quartet's violist Richard Jones also feature, including from her award-winning electronic and dance albums.

Grab a drink, get close-up to the artists and wander St Martin’s atmospheric crypt by candlelight for these informal gig nights.

This session features music from their Ligeti Quartet's new album Nuc, a collaboration with award-winning composer Anna Meredith. Alongside that is George Crumb’s iconic Black Angels, described as one of the scariest pieces of the 20th century, and listed by David Bowie as one of his favourite – ‘I heard this piece for the first time in the darkest time of my own 70s, and it scared the bejabbers out of me.’
