From San Francisco to Burkina Faso, with György Ligeti and his son Lukas. The elder Ligeti’s San Francisco Polyphony sounds like the soundtrack to an action film, but without banal clichés – while his Lontano is like a musical tightrope walk in slow motion.
Combine jazz, African music and electronics with the Ligeti genes, and you get the magic of Burkina Electric: music that exudes light, dancing on undulating rhythms.
Lukas Ligeti wrote an extra movement to his Suite for Burkina Electric and Orchestra specially for this Ars Musica concert.
