The year 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of the great Hungarian composer György Ligeti. Presented by The Adventurous Project in collaboration with the Elder Conservatorium, the School of Performing Arts, and Recitals Australia, this one-day festival celebrates and showcases Ligeti’s compositions.

Featuring some of South Australia’s finest musicians—pianist Michael Ierace, violinist Alison Heike, Horn player Emma Gregan, and cellist Thomas Marlin—the program brings works like the Horn Trio, Cello Sonata, Musica ricercata, and the sonic spectacle of Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes directly to the Madley Rehearsal Studio.
