Fresh Sound: Lukas Ligeti’s Notebook
1955 Julian Avenue, San Diego, 92113
Cost: $10 - $20
Composer/percussionist Lukas Ligeti made his Fresh Sound debut performance in a house concert in 2011, playing solo marimba lumina, an instrument designed by the late Don Buchla. He recently relocated from NYC to Southern California to serve on the faculty of UC Irvine. His music is a kaleidoscopic mix of African, post-minimal, European classical, and avant-jazz influences. Marimba virtuoso Ji Hye Jung also performs Ligeti's "Thinking Songs," pushing the instrument into new directions, and Ligeti's group Notebook performs works combining composition, improvisation, and unexpected moments of sheer beauty.
