Unsuk Chin was inspired by the street, Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays a "classic" by György Ligeti and a new piece by Thomas van Dun has its premiere.

Unsuk Chin and the city
In 2008 and 2009, Unsuk Chin visited Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The atmosphere of the old residential areas with their narrow, winding alleys, marketplaces and food vendors reminded her of the Seoul of her youth, where itinerant street performers created commotion with dance and music. In Gougalōn, Chin transformed those memories into a theatrical score, in which she has the ensemble play for shabby street orchestra. The percussionists use empty bottles and tin cans, among other things. Chin also drew inspiration from the street for her chamber orchestra work Graffiti. In the three-movement work for chamber orchestra, layers of sound overlap like tags and pieces in a graffiti mural.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays Ligeti
By Chin's teacher György Ligeti, the magisterial Piano Concerto will be performed, with none other than Ligeti specialist Pierre-Laurent Aimard as soloist. Asko|Schönberg opens with a new piece by the young Dutch composer and songwriter Thomas van Dun. His plans? Those are still future music at the time of writing.
