Budapest: Palace of the Arts Season Brochure

Great Cities, Great Orchestras Paris, Ankara and Saint Petersburg – three distinguished cities in the culture of classical music with orchestras that rank among the world’s best. They will be performing in an equally renowned location, namely Budapest’s Palace of Arts. The leading orchestra of the Turkish capital shows a spectecular rising in the international musical life – this time the forever young and inspiring pianist Tamás Vásáry will join them.

Russia’s oldest symphony orchestra returns to Budapest to perform under its superb chief conductor Yuri Temirkanov, accompanying by Schumann specialist Georgian pianist Eliso Virsaladze.

The season ticket will also see the return of the Orchestre de Paris with a concert featuring both excitingly Gallic and “Nordic” flavours under the baton of its chief music director Paavo Järvi and with wonderful play of violinist Leonidas Kavakos and the creative juxtaposition of works by Ravel, Sibelius and Brahms.
