Venue: St Paul's Hall, Huddersfield

Ligeti Quartet present a re-imagining of Justė Janulytė’s 2018 work for four string quartets, titled for a word game of geometric figures. In the original, the groups are placed around the audience, forming a square, whilst the music moves in circular patterns. In this new version, Ligeti Quartet will perform amplified with three pre-recorded layers played back in quadraphonic speaker formation.

Ligeti Quartet perform two large-scale works by the world-renowned, US-based trumpeter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and improviser, Wadada Leo Smith.

The Ligeti Quartet deliver a concert that poses existential questions of contemporary music: who is it by, and who is it for?
