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.
