Concert in Commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of Isang Yun’s Death
Joseph Joachim Hall, UdK Berlin, 25 November 2025, 7:30 pm
The Sixties: Reaction – Awakening
György Ligeti: Ramifications for twelve solo strings (1968/69)
Krzysztof Penderecki: Capriccio for oboe and strings (1965)
Isang Yun: Colloïdes sonores for ten solo strings (1961)
Xilin Wang / Ying Wang: Reaktion – Aufbruch / Reaction – Awakening (2025) – world premiere, commissioned works for IYG
Yeon-Hee Kwak (oboe), 13 strings, Holger Groschopp (cond.)
The situation of the avant-garde around and after 1960 is to be sensually experienced in a concert with works by Ligeti, Penderecki and Yun. Complemented by two new, contrasting compositions for string ensemble by Xilin Wang (‘Reaction’) and Ying Wang (‘Awakening’): Composers from China in Berlin, father and daughter, representing different generations and showing divergent stylistic orientations. Both Xilin Wang and Isang Yun are victims of dictatorships. Ligeti also experienced fascism and Stalinism. Ying Wang stands for an open, optimistic attitude, for the future. For further details, we kindly ask you to write an e-mail to IYG.
