György Ligeti Violin Concerto premiered on this day in 1990.
The first performance was given by German-Bulgarian virtuoso, Saschko Gawriloff.
The 5 movement work, representative of the composer's late style, is described as a synthesis of avant-garde exploration with traditional melodic and formal conventions.
