The start of an ongoing retrospective of the music of French electronic composer Éliane Radigue (performed by the composer) that will continue into next year (so don't worry that this show is sold out). Radigué studied with the French inventors of electronic music; eventually she converted to Tibetan Buddhism, which added another layer to her work. This recitals features the last piece Radigue wrote before she switched from feedback-based music to synthesizer as the '60s turned to the '70s, and the first piece she then wrote for synthesizer. Radigue's work is endlessly fascinating — and surprisingly listenable to the unitiated. You really ought to try to see at least one of the shows in this series.
