In 2006, the UMZE Chamber Ensemble created a new tradition with their concert “Hommage a Ligeti” at the Palace of Arts. In 2007, this concert will be performed on György Ligeti’s birthday, but sadly, the composer, who was born in 1923, passed away on June 12th 2006. Ligeti studied first at the Cluj Conservatoire and then at the Budapest Academy of Music. Not long afterwards, he created his micro-polyphony which became one of the most fundamental elements in his later music. In December 1956 h...e left Hungary. While working at the electronic music studios of West German Radio in Cologne, he was deeply influenced from his studies of the work of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mauricio Kagel and Pierre Boulez. He won many awards, medals and titles, which prove his excellence as an artist, teacher, and as an entire generation can testify, a mentor.
