The Ligeti Quartet make a welcome return to the New Music Series. And they’ll be back with an evening dedicated to the musical giant who gave them their name, the Hungarian avant-garde sonic wizard György Ligeti. His music became famous after director Stanley Kubrick used it to such incredible effect in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Ligeti’s 2nd String Quartet captures a similar mood, flipping from ferocious intensity to the most astounding sense of stillness.
Heaving with foods, textiles and decorative objects, these four enormous and indulgent tablescape scenes are the highlight of Picturing Excess: Jan Davidsz de Heem. Our fascinating new display explores the phenomenally popular ‘sumptuous still lifes’ known in Dutch as ‘pronkstilleven’, painted in the 1600s at the height of Dutch colonial trade.
2024 marks 150 years since the founding of the Cavendish Laboratory of Experimental Physics. No one could have predicted in 1874 that Cambridge physics would give birth to the atomic age: that the electron and neutron would be discovered, and the atom itself split, on Free School Lane.
Día de los Muertos, often referred to as the Day of the Dead, has been celebrated for at least 3,000 years. It brings together elements of Aztec and Maya religions as well as Catholicism (brought to Mexico by the Spanish).
For Mexicans everywhere, the Day of the Dead is a time for remembering relatives, friends and ancestors in a lighter way, with the emphasis on laughter and music, rather than sorrow and fear. The colourful tradition reflects the belief that we are not truly dead until there is no one alive to remember us.
