Join U: and Ludensemble for a powerful evening of music honoring the 100th birthdays of two giants of modern composition — Pierre Boulez and Luciano Berio.

Ludensemble invites you to an autumn evening where haunting tales and spellbinding music come together. Murder Ballads offers a gripping journey through sounds that blend American minimalism with echoes of folk tradition—an experience sure to captivate and stir every listener.

At the concert, Ludensemble juxtaposes the works of two 20th-century composers – the American George Crumb and the French composer Gérard Grisey. The central theme of the concert is the perception of time by humans, whales, and birds, raising the question – how different can these three truly be?
