The music of Amadinda and Gábor Presser will fill the concert hall of the Palace of Arts once again to see in the new year. The former Lokomotiv GT frontman's “Zenevonat” (music train) will joyfully pass through valleys and over the mountains enjoying the changing landscape of music history. Stops will be made at renaissance madrigals, the organ music of Johann Sebastian Bach, Maurice Ravel's brilliant compositions, afro-Americal tunes and some of Gábor Presser's own songs. One of the major attractions of this New Year's Eve concert is that it largely features productions that have never been heard before, among them some that will be probably be performed on this night only. The popularity of these concerts with the audience is plain to see, they are always sold out and many members of the audience secure their tickets many months in advance. The first half is traditionally constructed around Amadinda’s most popular tracks, alongside the music of their special guests. For the first time, the organ will also be sounded at this unique event. In the minutes before midnight, we hear the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, before the final seconds of the old year are seen off with Amadinda’s gong strikes. While the first half of the concert is precisely planned – the performers cannot risk missing the strike of midnight – the second half is all the more free and its duration is partly determined by the stamina of the audience. This is the time for genuine once-in-a-lifetime moments. The New Year traditionally begins with a Strauss polka, before Gábor Presser, the other host for the evening, arrives on stage. The night train reaches its final destination with some evergreen Presser songs and LGT numbers specially arranged for this concert. Presented by: Amadinda
