All three evenings of the series, entitled MAO–XX, will feature new compositions and unique musical worlds, where contemporary jazz, classical tradition and poetry all play a role.

On the third evening of the anniversary series, the Modern Art Orchestra will focus on the sounds of the future. Two young, exceptionally talented pianist-composers, Elemér Balázs Jr. and Krisztián Oláh, will present their new, large-scale works.
Elemér Balázs Jr.'s composition, Five Scenes Based on Goethe's Faust, reflects on the eternal themes of the classic work in a unique style that combines film music and jazz influences. Krisztián Oláh's new work, MAO Suite, is based on the character of the orchestra and uses the language of modern jazz to create richly textured, rhythmically exciting musical landscapes.
Both composers will also perform on piano during the concert, allowing the audience to experience firsthand what it is like when the composer is also the performer. The evening is not only the result of MAO's commitment to nurturing talent, but also offers a vision of the possibilities of contemporary big band jazz.

Our offer
A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House.
