JAZZ WORKSHOP
Featuring Edina Mókus Szirtes – violin, voice, János Nagy – piano, keyboards, Kornél Mogyoró – percussion, Free Style Chamber Orchestra, Balázs Istvánfi – bagpipes, Béla Szerényi – hurdy-gurdy

The Free Style Chamber Orchestra have been frequent performers at Müpa in recognition of the unique musical direction they represent and their unusual instrumental choices, as well as their tendency to regularly come up with new compositions that reveal fresh meaning. The FSCO comprises both classical and jazz musicians, including some who prefer to ignore the strict boundaries between the two genres. By its name and musical nature, it is known as an orchestra which represents freedom. Its leader, Ferenc Erkel Prize-winner János Nagy, demonstrates his multi-faceted skills as a musician, playing piano and a variety of keyboard instruments, besides acting as composer and orchestrator. Regular collaborators with the FSCO, bagpipe player Balázs Istvánfi and hurdy-gurdy player Béla Szerényi contribute greatly to the ensemble’s unique sound by injecting the musical styles of the Carpathian Basin and the folk music of other, similarly spirited peoples.
