UMZE Kamaraegyüttes

The Modern Art Orchestra began operating twenty years ago and has since become one of Hungary's most innovative and diverse musical workshops. To mark this anniversary, the ensemble is celebrating with a three-part premiere series at the Budapest Music Center concert hall. All three evenings of the series, entitled MAO–XX, will feature new compositions and unique musical worlds, where contemporary jazz, classical tradition and poetry all play a role.

Viktor Tóth is one of the most versatile figures in Hungarian jazz who can reveal his strong musical personality with the same effect as a virtuoso postbop musician and as a special interpreter of spiritual music. His playing is dynamic, yet with a sensitive expression, while he seeks to capture the energies of the moment.
