London’s Wigmore Hall celebrates the imminent ninetieth birthday of one of Austria’s greatest living composers with a day devoted to the often serene and elegiac work of Friedrich Cerha. The Viennese musician made his mark in the late 1950s as co-founder with Kurt Schwertsik of the pioneering new music ensemble ‘die reihe’. Friedrich Cerha Day presents a major retrospective of the composer’s chamber works performed by close colleagues and musicians steeped in his multi-faceted art.
