Kurtág Játékok

Alexander and Henry are special guest performers, joining Yellow Barn musicians for the preparation and performance of György Kurtág’s Játékok (Games).  As with Luciano Berio's Duetti, which is being performed on August 2nd, this project is dedicated to the concept of the Beginner’s Mind, the openness of “exploring” rather than the narrowness of “knowing”.

This program is approximately 90 minutes in length, and is performed without an intermission.
