Helmut
Lachenmann's
music is
among the
most
influential
of today's
composers.
A primary
inheritor of
the intense
expressionism
of his
teacher, Luigi
Nono, his
critical
reinvestigation
of
twentieth-century
German
culture has
produced
works of
gripping
beauty that
look to the
future as
much as they
look back
upon the
landscape of
music
history.
Mr
Lachenmann
will
participate
in a public
conversation
before this
concert,
which will
feature
pianist Ukiko
Sugawara-Lachenmann's
American
premiere of
Lachenmann's
recent piano
sonata Serynade, the
composer
himself
performing
the live
electronics
accompanying
Nono's late
masterpiece,
and a
performance
of his
radical
string
quartet Gran
Torso.
