Formed in 1996 to maintain the popularity of 20th and 21st century music, the UMZE Chamber Ensemble (Új Magyar Zene Egyesület – New Hungarian Music Society) launched its Hommage à Ligeti series of concerts in 2006. The programme was compiled from a variety of compositions to ensure that all phases, genres and instrumentation of György Ligeti's work were represented. An effort was also made to feature all works by the Hungarian classical master, who was still alive at the time of the first conce...rt. When Ligeti died in June 2006, the purpose of the series was no longer to toast the composer, but to celebrate his memory and attempt to preserve his work. Since then, the event has taken place every year around the date of the composer's birth on 28 May. On the fifth anniversary of his death, we will hear another selection of Ligeti works yet to be heard in the previous years. Most of the music will be performed by the UMZE Chamber Ensemble, but other important Hungarian chamber orchestras and soloists will also feature heavily in this important event on the Hungarian music calendar.
