The first half of the concert focuses on the clarinet, and explores the possibilities of using this instrument in solo or chamber music settings. The second half will feature the award-winning Conversations with Children (2008) and its sequel, Further Conversations with Children (2022). The concert is rounded off with the Hungarian premiere of Zenegén, a series of musical commentaries on a text by world-renowned professor of biology, Dr Richard Myers. Vajda also published an article on this piece and on the possibilities of setting scientific texts to music in last year's March issue of STEM by Hungarian Science, which will also be an important topic of the discussion framing the concert.

Our offer


Georges Bizet CARMEN Opera in four acts, in French, with Hungarian, English, and French subtitles

Carl Orff CARMINA BURANA Scenic cantata in the original languages, with Hungarian, English, and same-language subtitles

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.
