In paintings about Christmas, angels singing and playing festive music is a recurring theme. The aptly named Angelica Girls’ Choir, who are led by Zsuzsanna Gráf, and help nurture the legacy of Kodály and Bartók, have captivated Müpa Budapest audiences on several occasions. It also not the first time that we will celebrate the festive season with the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra. Under the artistic leadership of István Várdai, the orchestra has now entered its seventh decade. This year's concert will be a genuine delight for all lovers of choral music and chamber orchestras. The soloist for the two ensembles will be the soprano Ágnes Kovács.
This programme is being organised by Müpa Budapest within the framework of the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
