Tanya Tagaq's Sivunittinni was commissioned by the Kronos Quartet as part of their Fifty For The Future initiative, a library of 50 new works for string quartet by 50 different composers. Scores, recordings and educational information on the works are all published free of charge via the Kronos Quartet's website.
Ligeti Quartet perform a programme for International Women’s Day, featuring three pieces composed for them: Singing Strings (commissioned with the support of the RVW Trust), Mento Mood (commissioned by Cheltenham Festival) and Venus (commissioned by Sound UK).
This is a University of Sheffield Concerts Performance.
The Ligeti Quartet present a gripping picture of modern classical music at The Leadmill. Two 20th century classics - Steve Reich’s Grammy award-winning Different Trains and George Crumb’s iconic Black Angels for electric string quartet - feature alongside the rock-riff influenced minimalism of John Adams; John Zorn’s explosive collage of jazz, American folk, punk, modernist and classical music; and Tanya Tagaq’s Sivunittinni - inspired by Inuit throat singing.
Join us for our inaugural concert as resident ensemble at Goldsmiths, University of London! In this one-hour programme, we present some of our favourite works.
