Seemingly totally calm, they master things live on stage that might seem impossible at first glance. Sometimes, in an almost magical way, musicians manage to transform complexity into beauty. Seven of them will play complex and favourite pieces at Wien Modern – and also tell us how they do it. Two concerts in the Mozart Hall with the exceptional trio of Pierre-Laurent Aimard, Jean-Guihen Queyras and Mark Simpson (19.11.) and with the Arditti Quartet (28.11.). Seven selected solo and chamber music works by Clemens Gadenstätter, Helmut Lachenmann, Elliott Carter, Brian Ferneyhough, Rebecca Saunders, Marco Stroppa and Mark Simpson. And numerous very personal insights into the high art of dealing with complexity.
