Inside Queen Elizabeth Hall, a centenary celebration of György Ligeti unfolds – a mesmerising blend of rhythmic exuberance and eerie textures, alongside pieces by Conlon Nancarrow and Unsuk Chin.

This final concert of the BBCSO’s Total Immersion day dedicated to György Ligeti, proved to be something a revelation, both in terms of the variety of the music and the quality of the performances.

Not even the BAFTAs going on next door offered the star quality on display in the QEH.

Franz Welser-Möst conducted the concert, which also included the world première of Anthony Cheung's Topos and two Haydn symphonies.

Asko|Schönberg, ensemble in residence at the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ, opened the first edition of the Young Pianists Festival with a concert featuring two piano concertos, by György Ligeti and Klaas de Vries. The Dutch composer wrote his Second Piano Concerto for Daniël van der Hoeven, who won the Young Pianists Competition three years ago.
