About This Show
In this concert, we will revive and unite folk music elements with classical works that inspired the composer Bela Bartok and made him a lifelong lover of Hungarian peasant culture. The musicians of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble of Budapest will be joined by fantastic artists such as violinists Alexandre da Costa and Istvan Pal Szalonna, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and folk singer Eszter Pal. The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble took inspiration from the Hungarian musical arts for its new premiere, this time from Ferenc Liszt. Referencing the globetrotting Liszt, the stage is a “concert hall” ruled by music, dancing and singing, the mosaics form a unit, a great vision, so that the past may come to life, and our present may find its roots.
