Guitar Madness (HU)

The LFZE Béla Bartók Conservatory's orchestra is made up of more than 20 young musicians who play music based on free improvisation process models. The ensemble is led by Péter Ajtai and Máté Pozsár, and includes jazz and classical musicians as well. Their work carries on the tradition of Hungarian free music, rooted in collective creation and spontaneity, while also seeking new forms and structures of improvisation. In April 2024 they played at the House of Music Hungary as part of the New Music project, and in September they were included in the Liszt Academy's Conservatory concert series. This evening, they will perform free jazz classics and guided improvisations.

The band Deaf Platypus started out at the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory under the mentorship of Jakub Doležal. Over time, they have moved from jazz-fusion covers to their own compositions: the platypus melodies are often humorous and innocent, but they also like to experiment with odd rhythms and intricate, almost neoclassical arrangements. Jazz improvisation remains the focus of their work.
