This evening, artists knowing no boundaries will take Ligeti's legacy into their own hands and shape it further. In the first set, two small ensembles will demonstrate that the inspiration of the Hungarian composer's oeuvre is still present in contemporary jazz. The musicians of the Ligeti Ensemble under the auspices of Concerto Budapest will play the challenging Ten Pieces for Wind Quintet, which will be answered by Miklós Lukács' Cimbiozis Trio, blurring the (often thin) line between contemporary music and jazz. The collaboration was initiated by Miklós Lukács, and after the two bands presented the project at BMC's Ligeti 100 festival in May, they also recorded it, and the resulting album will soon be released on BMC Records.

The second part of the concert will be a similarly unconventional musical adventure in a thousand colours, as the Cimbiózis Trio will perform for the first time as a quartet with Csaba Klenyán. Their free music journey is based on the traditions of classical music, contemporary music and jazz, but as they are the country's leading creative musicians, their performance will be guided by a cavalcade of individual musical and sound ideas.
