Concert, music

Composer József Sári celebrates his 90th birthday this year. On this occasion, our celebratory concert features his chamber music and solo pieces composed for a variety of instruments, including world premieres, performed by outstanding musicians of the Hungarian contemporary music scene.

“There is a devil at work in every bar, in every part, the sound is fizzling”, writes the critic of Magyar Narancs, who later describes a “charming boogaloo jazz”, and then declares that “the exuberant vigueur and the joy of making music shines through every note”.

Featuring: Rémi Psaume - saxophones Raphaël Szöllösy - baritone electric guitar Selma Doyen - drums

Stimulated by the desire to explore written music in greater depth and take some weight off improvisation, trumpeter Luís Vicente called on Gonçalo Almeida and Pedro Melo Alves to join him, bringing together three of the most exciting musicians in contemporary Portuguese jazz.

Featuring: Anna Anderluh - vocals, autoharp, electronics Judith Schwarz - drums, percussion Philipp Kienberger - bass

The members of Trio Squelini, specialising in ethno-jazz and contemporary chamber music with a unique instrumental lineup, have been playing together in various bands and recordings for years.
