Portrait concert Holliger I

Heinz Holliger’s oeuvre is rich in biographical and artistic cross-references. At an ensemble concert, Heinz Holliger will be conducting his own works, placing them in relation to composers who mean a great deal to him – such as Sándor Veress, György Ligeti and György Kurtág. The performance will be given by the Opera Nova ensemble, which is dedicated to contemporary music and consists of members of the Philharmonia Zurich.
