World premiere of Hovik Sardaryan's "The Joy of Blossoming" at Karajan Academy
On 28 May, György Ligeti would have celebrated his 100th birthday. The Karajan Academy of the Berliner Philharmoniker and Susanna Mälkki commemorate the Hungarian composer – with a program that showcases the creativity and versatility of his oeuvre: from his contemplative Ramifications and the soaring, iridescent Chamber Concerto, to the humorous Six Bagatelles and the witty Poème Symphonique for 100 metronomes and the Piano Concerto, a work full of propulsive dynamism. Pierre-Laurent Aimard, a long-time associate of Ligeti and an expert on his music, is the soloist.
Under the baton of conductor Oscar Jockel there is also the world premiere of “The Joy of Blossoming” by Hovik Sardaryan, a student of Wolfgang Rihm.
