Organ-Fantasies

The magnificent organ of the Palace of Arts is perfect for discovering the repertoire of this royal instrument. Organ Land entices on journeys of exploration, something that will become clear from the first concert on. The sprightly octogenarian Jean Guillou invites us all on an expedition through a work that is at once entertaining and educational. For the second concert, Pál Mácsai will tell the stories in the latest instalment of his popular series in collaboration with organist László Fassang. The exciting possibilities presented by this instrument in tandem with other artistic genres will be demonstrated by the dancer and choreographer Attila Kun, founder of the PR-Evolution Dance Company. A “traditional” organ concert lies in store to close the series – albeit with a far-from-traditional programme. Organist and composer Zsigmond Szathmáry plays a selection of pieces by Bach and transcriptions of popular symphonic works, as well as one of his own compositions.
