SPEAKING IN LIGETI

-

For years, distinguis­hed choreograp­her Martha Carter has imagined a piece with dancers surroundin­g a string quartet — a work that would heighten ways musicians’ movements are like dancers, and dancers’ bodies like musical instrument­s. When she experience­d Microcosmo­s String Quartet ( featuring cellist Peggy Lee) performing Gyorgy Ligeti’s cosmic String Quartet No. 1, she knew she’d found both the perfect musicians, and music, for her idea.
