SCO Connect welcomed Dr Michael Searby to Edinburgh for an Explore day focussed on the music of Ligeti. Alongside special guests Robin Ticciati and Alec Frank-Gemmill, participants learned more about his music from the performer’s perspective, and looked in detail at the Chamber Concerto and Hamburg concerto.
