The first half of the concert focuses on the clarinet, and explores the possibilities of using this instrument in solo or chamber music settings. The second half will feature the award-winning Conversations with Children (2008) and its sequel, Further Conversations with Children (2022). The concert is rounded off with the Hungarian premiere of Zenegén, a series of musical commentaries on a text by world-renowned professor of biology, Dr Richard Myers. Vajda also published an article on this piece and on the possibilities of setting scientific texts to music in last year's March issue of STEM by Hungarian Science, which will also be an important topic of the discussion framing the concert.
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.
