Chapter 6 | Ligeti - Chin - Bouliane

György Ligeti’s Chamber Concerto, composed in the 1970s, unfolds a refined interplay of polyrhythms, shifting textures, and sonic poetry, revealing the composer’s unique mastery of counterpoint and tone color. Unsuk Chin’s Gougalon, inspired by childhood memories in South Korea, evokes street music and the exuberance of traveling performers, blending humor, virtuosity, and a touch of irony. Denys Bouliane’s Du fouet et du plaisir brilliantly explores the contrast between tension and freedom, transforming the orchestra into a vibrant, living organism. An intense, refined, and resolutely contemporary experience awaits you.
