Zappa-Night

A special friendship

It was a friendship that went down in music history: the American rock star and Pierre Boulez shared a love of experimentation and inventing new, virtuoso musical forms. Boulez even recorded an entire Zappa LP in 1984 entitled The Perfect Stranger, a testament to how close the two were. At the age of seventeen, Zappa had bought a record of Boulez's Le Marteau sans maître (see event at 6 pm). When he gave a concert in Paris in 1980, the band broke off the tour program after half an hour and intoned the Lohengrin Prelude. In the audience – in the midst of shrieking Zappa groupies – sat Pierre Boulez.
