Amadinda A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

“It is a falsehood that there is a divide between contemporary culture and the audience!” So runs one sentence typical of the Amadinda philosophy published on the cover of the percussion ensemble’s first album. In setting up the formation in 1984, Zoltán Rácz, Zoltán Váczi, Aurél Holló and Károly Bojtos undertook something that others refused when they gave performances in Hungary of key 20th century percussion pieces: “We saw before us a totally uncultivated area, we had a vision and sufficient strength to realize it, so we just stepped into the vacuum,” said Zoltán Rácz in an interview about the core aspirations of Amadinda. In the 30 years since then the ensemble have unpacked their unique percussion repertoire in more than 30 countries on four continents, including at the Berlin Filharmónia, the Vienna Konzerthaus, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Taipei’s National Concert Hall, Dallas’s Meyerson Symphony Center and New York’s Carnegie Hall.
