THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY OCCURED IN A PREVIOUS SEASON!

A sometime pupil of Xenakis, though largely self-taught, the music of experimental Greek-born composer Georges Aperghis is often theatrical and always provocative. Prolific, unfailingly inventive, and not easily categorized, he has written for a wide array of instruments and ensembles. The International Contemporary Ensemble gives a tour of his works from the 70s to the present day—from duo to trio to quartet to chamber ensemble—led by conductor Ludovic Morlot, a rising star and former assistant to James Levine, music director of the Metropolitan Opera.
