Duo Dillon-Torquati, after last week’s Recitals in Parma, Bari and Munich, will perform again Gyorgy Kurtàg’s Double Concerto op. 27 n. 2 after giving the Italian Premiere in Torino on last February. This time is the turn of the opening of GAIDA Festival Vilnius, with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jonathan Berman.

Kurtàg is one of the greatest living composers and this year he will turn 90. His Double Concerto is considered among his best works and explores spatial horizons, with a peculiar orchestral setting. It was written in 1989 for Ensemble Modern and Ensemble Intercontemporain and the first performance was conducted by Peter Eotvos, with Miklos Perenyi (cello) and Zoltan Kocsis (piano).
