2025 marks the centenary of two of the 20th century’s most influential composers: Luciano Berio and Pierre Boulez. Visionary and uncompromising, both reimagined the possibilities of sound, transforming the role of instruments, voice and electronics in contemporary music. 

This Loudspeaker Orchestra concert honours their legacy through a series of landmark works and contemporary responses. Berio’s trailblazing electronic masterpieces Visage and Momenti are presented in immersive multichannel sound, while violinist Darragh Morgan performs Boulez’s Anthèmes 2 and clarinettist Sarah Watts delivers Dialogue de l’ombre double - two works that remain touchstones of late 20th-century innovation. 

The evening also features works by contemporary composers including Sungji Hong, whose compositions echo and extend the aesthetic dialogues initiated by Berio and Boulez, forging a vibrant link between past, present, and future. 

Full programme:

Pierre Boulez - Anthèmes II
Pierre Boulez - Dialogue de l’ombre double
Luciano Berio: Visage 
Luciano Berio: Momenti
Sungji Hong - Ekvallein
