Following the great success of their 2023 concert, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Müpa Budapest under the baton of their new music director, Martin Rajna. The thoughtfully assembled programme vividly demonstrates the manner in which this excellent ensemble is entering a new chapter in its history full of dynamism and optimism. Alongside Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and selected movements from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet suites as chosen by the exceptionally talented young conductor, the concert features perhaps Béla Bartók’s most popular concerto, the Piano Concerto No. 3. The soloist is the charismatic Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein, who enjoys a particularly warm relationship with Budapest audiences and has strong Hungarian ties as a former pupil of Ferenc Rados.
