Vernissage & Konzert: Computer Music Lab – Ligetis Vision eines Instituts für Forschung, Kunst und Vermittlung

In the organizer's words:

50 years ago, the Hungarian-Austrian composer György Ligeti brought a visionary idea to Hamburg: inspired by his stay at Stanford University, he advocated the founding of a computer music institute at the then University of Music and Performing Arts.

The exhibition "Computer Music Lab - Ligeti's Vision of an Institute for Research, Art and Education" sheds light on Ligeti's time in Hamburg from 1973 to 1989 and uses historical documents, videos and sounds to trace the foundations of the ligeti center today.

The vernissage will be framed by a musical program in collaboration with the harpsichord and piano class of the HfMT Hamburg.
