Söndörgő:
Balanescu Quartet:
Two vastly different yet mutually enriching musical universes meet on the Müpa stage this evening: Söndörgő, one of Hungary’s most exciting representatives of Balkan and South Slavic musical traditions, and the world-renowned Balanescu Quartet, which masterfully combines contemporary classical music with boundary-defying creative improvisation. The backbone of the concert is provided by the music of Béla Bartók, but reimagined in a new light: the Balanescu Quartet’s minimalist, avant-garde sensibility and Söndörgő’s infectious tambura music are sure to create a unique sonic world. The works to be performed will build bridges between classical and folk music, past and present, the Balkans and Central Europe. Alongside Söndörgő’s original compositions, Bartók’s folk music collections will come to life as contemporary chamber music arrangements, while the sound of Southern Slavic tamburas will be presented in a context rarely heard on Hungarian stages.
