In the first part of an unusual evening which will see 24 jazz musicians take the stage with a symphonic orchestra and 10 dancers, works composed by three musicians of the Society of Hungarian Jazz Artists will be performed by members of the society accompanied by a symphonic orchestra. The meeting of two genres will create a third, a mixture of orchestral tones and improvisation in which the potential for exciting musical innovation can be explored. In hearing jazz compositions for a full orche...stra, the audience will be part of an extraordinary sonic experience. The second half of the concert will comprise works composed by seven jazz musicians for ballet pieces choreographed by three young artists of the State Opera House, Marianna Venekei, Levente Bajári and Miklós Dávid Kerényi. The music will be performed live on stage by musicians of the Society of Hungarian Jazz Artists to contemporary dance pieces performed by young dancers of the Opera House, ensuring an unusual experience where music and dance appear together in their full complexity. “Dance is nothing without music, as dance is music distilled into movement. Jazz music is nothing without rhythm and a beat, and it is this, together with its many other properties, that makes it ideal for creating choreographed movement. It was with this in mind that I set about composing my piece for the ballet evening.” (László Dés) Presented by: Magyar Jazz Nkht.
