Chamber music festival soon to begin at the Liszt Academy

10 November 2016

Besides the significantly discounted subscription rates (15-25%) for any combination of the concerts of the kamara.hu chamber music festival taking place between 17 and 20 November with Dénes Várjon and Izabella Simon as artistic directors, now also individual tickets have been to be purchased since 10 November.

Please, be notified that the Liszt Academy distinctly distances itself from the information recently published on various community websites and mailing lists. No free-of-charge tickets for the kamara.hu festival are or will be available in the ticket office of the Liszt Academy. As to the content elements of the mail, we deem it important to remark that they do not reflect the perspective of the Liszt Academy and do not correspond to reality in any way.

The composers of the works performed within the framework of the four-day chamber music festival with the sub-title Turning Point range from Schubert to Bartók and Kurtág, and we will be able to welcome artists like Steven Isserlis, Viviane Hagner so highly commended by the Washington Post, Jörg Widmann who equally qualifies as a composer and a clarinettist, the Norwegian violinist-composer Henning Kraggerud or one of Europe’s most sought-after cellist, Christoph Richter. „The festival focuses on various types of turning points loosely associated with the composers’ professional, private and everyday life, but also addresses turning points between two epochs, for instance by concentrating on composers living and working at the boundary of two eras. We are trying to inspire ourselves and our audience to revisit this multifaceted concept.” – said Dénes Várjon in an interview in connection with the motto taken from the Klaus Mann’s novel, The Turning Point.
