Mauricio Kagel
Mauricio Kagel, born in Buenos Aires on 24 December 1931, is a very distinctive composers of contemporary music. From the very beginning his name has been associated above all with music theatre, the genre in which he has perhaps exerted the greatest impact.

Kagel's creative output is remarkable: it encompasses not only stage, orchestral and chamber music in an extremely wide range of instrumental settings, but also film scores, radio plays and essays.
