Helmut Lachenmann @ 90

Sound Icon, in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Boston, celebrates the 90th birthday of Helmut Lachenmann, one of the most influential and deeply visionary composers of the last 100 years. This concert features Helmut Lachenmann's Guero, for piano solo (1970) in conjunction with percussion and piano works by two of Lachenmann's students Marc Andre and Pierluigi Billone.
Sound Icon is a sinfonietta committed to performing the most significant progressive
works of the past few decades. As a sinfonietta, Sound Icon offers the color palette of a full orchestra with the precision and flexibility of a chamber ensemble. The
technical and logistical challenges of contemporary repertoire for sinfonietta often discourage live performance in the United States, however, Sound Icon embraces this music and aims to bring this repertoire to Boston and beyond. Through ambitious programming performed to the highest standards, Sound Icon engages audiences in dialogues about what progressive music is and can be: music that redefines rules, experiences, and expectations.
