    Da Camera of Houston presents Gyorgy Kurtag: A Composed Program,  Da Camera at The Menil, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 7:30 PM, at The Menil Collection.

    The great Hungarian composer’s Games for piano four-hands and solo piano interweave with his transcriptions of Bach chorales in this “composed program,” created for and performed with his lifelong partner, Marta Kurtág. A deeply moving and intimate musical statement portraying Kurtag’s unique musical sensitivity and the haunting memories of music from the past that inspired him.

    Marilyn Nonken and Sarah Rothenberg, whose recent recording and performances of Messiaen’s Visions de l’Amen have received rave reviews, team up again.

    “two of the finest of new-music pianists” — The New Yorker

    "The performers seamlessly laced together the most delicate cushion of sound, their contributions flawlessly integrated, giving the impression of a single performer." -- New Jersey Star Ledger
