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.

Modern Art Orchestra
Artistic director: Kornél Fekete-Kovács
With its concert, the Modern Art Orchestra pays tribute to Ferenc Erkel, one of the most influential figures in Hungarian music history. In this latest installment of the “Tradition Living with Us” series, the opera composer’s most beautiful duets are presented in a new light. In addition to well-known operas such as Bánk bán and Hunyadi László, lesser-known works such as the arias from Dózsa György and Sarolta are also performed in fresh, contemporary arrangements.
The arrangements were created based on Kornél Fekete-Kovács' concept and the work of the orchestra's composers – János Ávéd, Kristóf Bacsó, Gábor Cseke, Gábor Subicz and Attila Korb. Two outstanding soloists from the Hungarian State Opera House are participating in the production: Lilla Horti (soprano) and Tibor Szappanos (tenor).
