COLUMBIA HISTORY
On April 4, 1949, the newly formed North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), represented by delegates from the US, Canada, and ten European countries, signed a collective security pact. Four years after the end of a war that killed thirty-nine million Europeans, the twelve nations negotiated an all-for-one, one-for-all agreement with the declared intention to check Soviet expansion, bolster Europe’s defenses, and prevent German remilitarization.
At Columbia, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ’47HON, the five-star general who led the Allied invasion of Europe during World War II, was closely following events. Eisenhower had become president of Columbia less than a year earlier, succeeding Nicholas Murray Butler, who resigned in 1945 after forty-four years.

György Ligeti wrote his Horn Trio in honor of the 150th birthday of Johannes Brahms, whose own horn trio is one of the quintessential works in chamber music. For this Pop-Up, the Takt Trio continues the tradition, performing Ligeti’s monumental work alongside two brand new horn trios by composers Marcos Balter and Hilda Paredes, commissioned for the occasion of Ligeti’s 100th birthday.
