In the last COZ before the summer break, Professor William Kinderman talks to Malcolm Miller on 'Alienation and Consolation in Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments for Soprano and Violin' see bios and more details here https://jewishmusic.hcommons.org/coz-... György Kurtág, now 97 years old, is the last remaining active and influential European avant-garde composer of his generation. Kurtág’s magnum opus from 1986, the Kafka Fragments, has achieved an honored and conspicuous place in the musical repertory, and incorporates in its hour-long cyclic structure a far-reaching interpretation of literary fragments from Kurtág’s fellow Jewish artistic predecessor, Franz Kafka. This presentation explores Kurtág’s ingenious musical rendering of these precious fragments, and will be richly illustrated by video performance excerpts by Tony Arnold, soprano, and UCLA violin professor Movses Pogossian, musicians who have worked closely with the composer.
