S'iscravamentu, from Sardinian Songbook

Ligeti Quartet present a programme combining works from their repertoire with those of composers from the South China Normal University:

Wei Cong String Quartet No. 1 (2007)
Pang Wenlan String Quartet No. 1 "Veins of Withered Wood" (2026)
Wang Siqi Wrath Lullaby for String Quartet (2026)
Xu Xinhua Fluctuations in Mood for String Quartet (2023) 

Centred around music by Christian Mason and Tanya Tagaq from their recently released album Songbooks Vol. 1, Ligeti Quartet explores the sonic possibilities of string techniques inspired by throat singing traditions from around the world. York composers, past and present, make up the rest of the programme, taking inspiration from howling dogs, and the entire history of the string quartet itself.

This is an online concert from the Jack Lyons Concert Hall, University of York.
