Bruch.Punkt<\/h1>\n

1922: the chopper and the talkies are invented, the Soviet Union is founded. 1923: Japan, China and Iran are hit by devastating earthquakes, the first radio stations go on air. But \u2013 above all: the composers Xenakis and Ligeti are born 100 years ago, equidistant from the turn of the year 1922\/23.<\/p>\n

With two concerts, a \u201ecoda\u201c featuring Iannis Xenakis (*1922) and a \u201ckick-off\u201d devoted to Gy\u00f6rgy Ligeti (*1923), Klangforum Wien marks these major anniversaries, staking out two colossal landmarks in our present sense of time which, due to the current challenges, is at risk of drifting off into a confused and disoriented loss of history. In those days, when Xenakis and Ligeti were born, much came to an end but, at the same time, morphed into starting-points for new departures.<\/p>\n

Klangforum Wien\u2019s new cycle takes this into account: An enquiry into what the future may bring, as well as an awareness of the history of new developments define its contents.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
