What Can the Clarinet Do? A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Does anybody know what grenadil is? Or palisander? A clue: both are associated with Mozart’s favourite instrument. So what was Mozart’s favourite instrument? OK, we’ll tell you: it was the clarinet. This second concert series presenting musical instruments and organized within the framework of the Liszt Kidz Academy for upper primary school pupils (and their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents) takes a close-up look at the clarinet. What, for instance, is this instrument capable of, why does it need a reed to sound, and what marvellous works has it inspired over the course of its 300-year history? Since the clarinet has not only pursued a great career in classical music but jazz as well (where frequently it is represented by its cousin, the saxophone), classical clarinettist Lajos Rozmán is joined by the Liszt Academy’s own saxophone teacher Kristóf Bacsó in order to weave a closer friendship between the audience and one of the most engaging members of the woodwind family. Zsuzsanna Lakatos, musicology student of the Liszt Academy, plays the role of narrator. The concert is a repeat of the programme of the same name staged two years ago.
