In Memoriam P\u00e9ter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s (2.1.1944\u201324.3.2024)<\/p>\n
The Hungarian composer and conductor P\u00e9ter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s is considered one of the central figures of contemporary music. E\u00f6tv\u00f6s studied at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and had a major influence as a conductor of leading orchestras and ensembles.
\nE\u00f6tv\u00f6s’ compositions are characterised by a precise structure and complex rhythmic and tonal textures. In “The Sequences of the Wind”, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s illustrates eight different types of wind \u2013 from calm to whirlwind. In “Brass \u2013 The Metal Space”, the concert hall is explored acoustically in a theatrical way. On the occasion of his unexpected death in spring 2024, Ensemble Phoenix Basel is organising a memorial concert with three ensemble works written by E\u00f6tv\u00f6s over a period of 32 years.
\nOur guest conductor is the Hungarian composer, clarinettist and conductor Gregory Vajda, programme director of the P\u00e9ter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Contemporary Music Foundation in Budapest since 2018.<\/p>\n
