A budaszentlőrinci pálos kolostor - régészeti séta

Boris Eifman / ifj. Johann Strauss THE PYGMALION EFFECT Ballet in two acts

The world-renowned composer/conductor who passed away recently at the age of 80 after being awarded the Kossuth Grand Prize this year, once said that "jazz is a fundamental element for me”. At this concert in memory of his life and work, in addition to an early piece of electronic music and a late choral work, we will hear compositions of his that are closely linked to the sounds of jazz and improv performed by prominent artists from the Hungarian jazz scene.

When Rossini died in 1868, Verdi urged his compatriots to compose a requiem in memory of the departed master, with each composer taking on a single movement.
