South Korean composer and Ligeti’s pupil Unsuk Chin’s music is the best example of how contemporary music may be truly impactful, yet not conservative and derivative. Today, aged around sixty, Chin is one of the most prominent personalities in the international music world. Her music is performed by the most important orchestras and conductors, such as Rattle, Dudamel, Nagano, Salonen. At the Fenice Theatre in Venice, on September 26, the resident orchestra and Ensemble Modern will perform in one of the most anticipated events of the season her Violin Concerto no. 2, with Leonidas Kavakos at the violin. Conductor: Tito Ceccherini.
