Klangforum Wien, one of Europe’s great contemporary music ensembles, opens the Library’s 2023 concert series with a fresh burst of recent and established new music. Beginning with a work by Beat Furrer, one of the founders of Klangforum Wien, the group traces the horizon and then peeks beyond. The concert is anchored by the monumental Extinction Events and Dawn Chorus by Australian composer Liza Lim, a recent commission by Klangforum that shows that the past and its hopes are still with us in the midst of ecological disaster.

There will be no preconcert talk for this event.
