About Ligeti Essays

Ligeti Essays (2005) is a compilation of three song cycles written by the late György Ligeti throughout his long career, to the poetry of fellow Hungarian, Sandor Weöres. As a composer, Ligeti used sources from all schools of thought to create some of the most arresting music of the late 20^th century. In the songs that make up Ligeti Essays, Ligeti uses haiku like compression to reveal different states of mind - from the sarcastic and humorous to the trivial or languorous. The dancers capture thought through movement based on a curvilinear, calligraphic dance vocabulary punctuated by rough, raw accents.

UCLA Nimoy Theater– Los Angeles CA

May 18-22, 2025

Opera: Schoenberg in Hollywood

 

Director: Karole Armitage

Music: Tod Machover

Conductor: Jules Levy

Costumes: Molly Irelan

Set and Prop Design: Tanya Orellana

Omar Ebrahim as Arnold Schoenberg

 

The Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience and the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music present the West Coast premiere of Tod Machover’s chamber opera, Schoenberg in Hollywood, May 18, 20, 22, 2025 at the newly renovated Nimoy Theater. These performances are part of Schoenberg 150, the worldwide celebration of the sesquicentennial of composer Arnold Schoenberg’s birth.

Schoenberg in Hollywood is a high spirited affectionate homage to one of the most influential artistic figures of the 20th Century, and UCLA’s revered professor of music composition from 1936 to 1944. It presents vignettes from Schoenberg’s life, seen through the aesthetic of the Hollywood film industry. It explores the complex relations between uncompromising art and mass appeal and, whether – and how – art can change the world.
