Ligeti Quartet returns to Kings Place to celebrate minimalist master, Terry Riley, alongside deep listening legend, Pauline Oliveros.
Terry Riley’s contribution to the string quartet canon is celebrated with a performance of his seminal work, Cadenza on the Night Plain, and a premiere of a new arrangement of Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band (the B-side of Riley’s much-loved 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air). Alongside this, their interpretation of 70 Chords by Terry by one of Riley’s fellow travellers, Pauline Oliveros, whose approach to listening and improvisation revealed radical new ways of communal music-making. The Ligeti Quartet will perform the programme utilising d&b audiotechnik’s Soundscape system.
This event will last approximately 1 hour without an interval.
