Our next concert! Kurtág 100: a concert performance of Hungarian legend György Kurtág’s visceral work ‘Kafka Fragments’ (soprano and violin) to celebrate the composer’s centenary year, with Rebecca Hardwick and Tamsin Waley-Cohen.

‘Kafka Fragments’ sets extracts of Kafka’s letters and diaries to music, in Kurtág’s economical abstract expressionist style. Written for soprano and violin, the music offers a combination echoing Kurtág’s roots in Hungarian folk music magnified through a contemporary classical lens, while addressing Kafka’s themes of existential angst, the human condition, and surrealist humour. Both the violin part and the soprano part are extreme showcases, and the concert is not to be missed.
