DEAR VIEWERS, We believe that there are no limits to the Müpa Budapest experience. We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world’s most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – this time in their own homes. It is precisely for this reason that we have decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest’s virtual concert hall by providing access to many live concerts (although without an audience) or an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, and our YouTube channel.

As a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation we are also giving you the chance this week to enjoy some concerts as though you were seated in the auditorium of one of the continent’s most prestigious performing arts centres.

While last year’s autumn Rising Stars series for the 2020/2021 concert season at Müpa Budapest was cancelled due to the coronavirus epidemic, on our Facebook page you can now encounter six young and ambitious musicians or groups through a live broadcast of their performances from the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg.

We trust that, in this way, we will be able to make the evenings you are spending at home more pleasant and full of magical and uplifting moments.

Take good care, and let’s continue to stick together!

ARIS STRING QUARTET György Kurtág: Officium Breve in memoriam Andreae Szenvánszky, op. 28 • Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, Op. 110 • Misato Mochizuki: in-side (commissioned by ECHO) • Mendelssohn: String Quartet No. 3 in D major, Op. 44, No. 1 Anna Katharina Wildermuth, Noémi Zipperling – violin Caspar Vinzens – viola • Lukas Sieber – cello What did the four musicians who founded this string quartet in Frankfurt am Main in 2019 have in mind when they named the ensemble? What might ‚Aris’ mean? The answer has nothing to do with art history, mythology or history: this meaningless word is simply a composite of the final letters of the first names of the members.

The four young musicians studied in Madrid with Günter Pichler, former primarius of the Alban Berg Quartet, and later attracted a great deal of attention with a number of victories at international competitions, including the extremely prestigious ARD competition in Munich, where they collected a stunning total of five awards Nominated for the Rising Stars programme by: Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Konzerthaus Dortmund The performance will be broadcasted on our Facebook page.

JESS GILLAM

Poulenc: Oboe Sonata, FP 185 (arrangement for saxophone) • Graham Fitkin: Gate • Dowland: Flow my tears • Iturralde: Pequeña Czarda Featuring: Zeynep Özsuca – piano Jess Gillam, who turns 22 this year, won the Classic Brit Award and was the first saxophonist to reach the final of BBC Young Musician in the competition’s history.

She was only 15 when she held a TEDx talk on the saxophone that since been watched more than 100,000 times on YouTube. It is part of her musical credo that she wishes to reform the concert experience: she would like, for example, for the audience to be allowed to dance, clap and cry out between movements – she believes these instinctive reactions are expressions of the joy of music.

Nominated for the Rising Stars programme by: Sage Gateshead The performance will be broadcasted on our Facebook page.

ROSSINI GALA

Rossini: L’italiana in Algeri – overture • Rossini: L’italiana in Algeri – ‚Già d’insolito ardore nel petto’ (Mustafa’s aria from Act 1) • Rossini: L’italiana in Algeri – ‚Ai capricci della sorte’ (Isabella and Taddeo’s duet from Act 1) • Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia – overture • Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia – ‚Ecco ridente in cielo’ (Almaviva’s cavatina from Act 1) • Rossini: Il barbiere di Siviglia – ‚Pace e gioia sia con voi” (Almaviva and Don Bartolo’s duet from Act 2) • Rossini: Guillaume Tell – overture • Rossini: Guillaume Tell – ‚Ne m’abandonne point... Asile héréditaire’ (Arnold’s aria from Act 4) • Rossini: Tancredi – ‚O patria... Di tanti palpiti’ (Tancredi’s aria from Act 1) • Rossini: La Cenerentola – overture • Rossini: La Cenerentola – ‚Miei rampolli femminini’ (Don Magnifico’s aria from Act 1) • Rossini: La Cenerentola – ‚Nacqui all’affanno... Non più mesta’ (Angelina’s aria from Act 2) Featuring: Dorottya Láng – mezzo-soprano • István Horváth – tenor Péter Kálmán – bass-baritone • Miklós Harazdy – piano • Pannon Philharmonic Conductor: Nikolas Nägele Gioachino Rossini, author of so many opera buffas, including the unsurpassable Il barbiere di Siviglia, was more inclined toward humour than any other genius in music history. Of course, the overall formula is not quite this simple: in addition to the comic operas there is also a series of serious pieces – and we must not forget that it was with such a work that he closed his oeuvre early on in his life: Guillaume Tell. One of the virtues of Müpa Budapest’s gala concert is how it will present both faces of the musician, and another highly promising feature is the inclusion of superbly crafted overtures along with the arias. An evening full of the very essence of Rossini.

The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

She pursued her advanced studies in Berlin, and one of the greatest successes of her career so far was winning the grand prize at the Long–Thibaud–Crespin Competition in Paris.
