In 1945, two young Hungarian artists born in Romania ventured across the Hungarian border and made a pilgrimage to Budapest to have a share in Bartók's legacy. The revolution in 1956 separated them physically, but their relationship – despite their opposed way of thinking – has never been broken since they met for the first time. Kurtág insisted that Ligeti's pieces must be included at the concerts celebrating his birthday, and now, on the centenary of Ligeti's birth, we are no doubt fulfilling his wish by featuring his works along with those of Kurtág. Distinguished Hungarian and international performers will pay tribute to the two flag-bearers of European culture: composer-improvisator Lukas Ligeti, young star Nicolas Namoradze, the queen of violists, Kim Kashkashian, Iceland's Glenn Gould, Víkingur Ólafsson, the captivating Steven Isserlis, one of Ligeti's and Kurtág's Hungarian experts, Gábor Csalog, the pioneering duo of Zoltán Rácz and Aurél Holló, and the master of the barrel organ, Pierre Charial, who transcribed some of Ligeti’s works in collaboration with the composer himself.
Our offer
The series A Genius Is Born is a tribute to the male choir works by the three greatest Hungarian masters of music, so it is no coincidence that the concerts are taking place on the composers' birthdays. A special feature of the concert programme is that StEFREM's personal selection of works by the classical composers is complemented by outstanding and interesting pieces by their "heirs", the Hungarian composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Founded in 2018, the Korossy Quartet aims to transmit the famous Hungarian string quartet tradition, and to present the broadest possible repertoire to Hungarian and foreign audiences.
A „ballad” played by jazz musicians and singers is supposed to be slow and is typically about romantic feelings. What the leader of MAO, Kornél Fekete-Kovács adds regarding their choice of ballads for this program is that so much could be grouped here, anything that is rather introvert and fits the mood of the season. The repertoire of the big band contains a lot of traditional, and quite many unusual ballads.
