About

Ex Nihilo brings together a diverse palette of music into one continuous flow. Ligeti’s Musica Ricercata forms the spine of the program, interwoven with 20th-century works that resonate with it and new interludes by Brecht Valckenaers. Together, they trace a lineage of invention - exploring how composers reimagine their musical language and the piano itself ex nihilo, from nothing.
