Re: Trace Kurtág - International Composition Competition
An underground, slow-burn contemporary classical night.
A concert featuring the award-winning works and the prize ceremony of the inaugural Re:Trace International Composition Competition. Dedicated to the 100th anniversary of composer György Kurtág, the competition focuses on the beauty of fragments and the intensity of momentary gestures. The programme includes works by six finalists, performed by the newly-formed ensemble of the Greek Composers' Union. This event is part of the Contemporary Music Days festival at the GNO Alternative Stage, a programme mapping contemporary musical creation across acoustic, electronic, and hybrid forms.
