SPECTRA - Signs, Games and Messages

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, SPECTRA celebrates the hundredth birthday of György Kurtág with a special coffee concert. De Hongaarse composer is known for music in which not a single note sounds too much. Every detail counts, every sound carries meaning. Central to this tribute concert is Signs, Games and Messages, a collection of short miniatures that together form a rich, ever-changing world. Because this music is never finished: it continues to grow, breathe, and surprise. SPECTRA places Kurtág in dialogue with composers who inspired him, such as Bach, Webern, Bartók, and Kodály, and with contemporary voices such as Clara Iannotta and Salvatore Sciarrino, who in turn were influenced by him. Let yourself be carried away in a concert in which silence, sound, and nuance are central. An intense listening experience that brings you closer to the essence of music.
