HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY KURTÁG!!!!!

Kurtág is the reason our duo formed in the first place! Eddie wanted to play Kurtag‘s „Einige Sätze…“ on his master‘s recital, asked Nina if she was interested, and the rest is history!!

György Kurtág, thank you!! Playing your music continues to be one of the great joys of our duo. Whether we are on stage or in the audience, your music demands that we engage with the vibrant spectrum of being in the world, with all its ephemeral oddities and wonders.
