DEAR VIEWERS, 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 – in the safety of their own homes. We believe that there are no limits to the „Müpa Budapest experience”, which is why we 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 an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, our Facebook page and our YouTube channel.

What is more, as a member of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) and in the spirit of international solidarity, we will also be streaming concerts on our Facebook page from different prestigious concert halls around Europe, from Lisbon and Hamburg to London – trusting that this will make evenings at home more pleasant.

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

LARRY GOLDINGS– PETER BERNSTEIN– BILL STEWART TRIO Since their appearance in the world of jazz, Hammond organ, guitar and drum ensembles have become one of the genre’s most popular line-ups. By the 1990s, The New York Times was already calling this all-star group the best of the organ trios. And in 2019, they gave their first performance in Hungary at Müpa Budapest.

This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 19 November 2019.

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

STRAVINSKY MARATHON – CAPRICCIO, SYMPHONY OF PSALMS Stravinsky: Capriccio • Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms Featuring: Zoltán Fejérvári – piano • Pannon Philharmonic, Hungarian National Choir (chorus master: Mátyás Antal) • Conductor: Tibor Bogányi The Capriccio for piano and orchestra was composed by Stravinsky between 1926 and 1929. Like the Piano Concerto with wind accompaniment, Stravinsky composed this virtuoso piece to make a living when he was forced to emigrate to Western Europe after the Russian revolution. The three-movement Symphony of Psalms for chorus and orchestra was written to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1930. “The juxtaposition of the three psalms is not accidental”, writes Stravinsky. “The sinner’s prayer for God’s mercy (Prelude), thanksgiving for the mercy granted (double fugue) and the song of praise all serve the gradually unfolding plan of the work.”

This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 7 February 2015.

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