We saw this amazing piece by Ligeti performed by other artists at Juilliard in Jan. 2015.
More about the composer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Ligeti):
György Sándor Ligeti (Hungarian: Ligeti György Sándor [ˈliɡɛti ˈɟørɟ ˈʃaːndor]; 28 May 1923 – 12 June 2006) was a composer of contemporary classical music. He has been described as "one of the most important avant-garde composers in the latter half of the twentieth century" and "one of the most innovative and influential among progressive figures of his time".[1]
Born in Transylvania, Romania, he lived in Hungary before emigrating and becoming an Austrian citizen.

Apart from his far-reaching interest in different types of music from Renaissance to African music, Ligeti was also interested in literature (including the writers Lewis Carroll, Jorge Luis Borges, and Franz Kafka), painting, architecture, science, and mathematics, especially the fractal geometry of Benoît Mandelbrot and the writings of Douglas Hofstadter.[12]
