„Three Stars on the Sky…” – From Verbunk Style to Bartók

On 10 March, Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music hosts Béla Szerényi junior’s colourful performance as the last concert of Zuglo Philharmonics’ Gaudeamus Season Pass. It is going to be a real musical delicacy not only for folk music lovers.

You can experience the perfect harmony on folk and symphonic music pieces with special instrumentation at the academy’s Great Hall. On the first half of the program Béla Szerényi junior (composer, folk musician and dancer) will be joined by his fellow artists, featuring Zuglo Philharmonics. They will perform a special selection of different ages and styles.

The second half of the afternoon concert will feature one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Béla Bartók. He composed a great opus called „Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta” which is going to take a central role at the concert. Expect nothing but great quality music, and fun dance performances.
