FABA is pleased to support Ryoji Ikeda Weekend at the Barbican, London
Taking place on 20–21 February 2026, this special programme brings together rarely performed acoustic works by Japanese composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda, offering a focused exploration of his practice beyond electronics.
The weekend includes:
– music for strings performed by Ensemble Modern
– music for percussion 1 & 2
– op. 2 + 3 performed by the Solem Quartet
– music for choir performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
Across two days, the programme highlights Ikeda’s rigorous, mathematically driven compositions through strings, percussion, quartet and choral works, presented in immersive live performances at the Barbican Hall and St Giles Cripplegate.
