Florida State University hosted a Ligeti Symposium and Festival October 10–12, 2013, in celebration of the ninetieth year since the composer’s birth. In attendance were Ligeti scholars from around the world including Ligeti biographer Richard Steinitz, the composer’s long-time assistant Louise Duchesneau, and the composer’s son Lukas Ligeti.
The festival included performances of chamber, orchestral, and instrumental works by the composer, including the organ works Harmonies performed by FSU student Michael Sharp, and Volumina, performed by Dr. Iain Quinn.
