Global Stars: Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra

Über die Veranstaltung

The Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra begins its jubilee year in the Palace of Arts in the company of a Hungarian cellist of the highest order, the 65‐year‐old Miklós Perényi, and an exciting programme of 20th century music including works by Bartók, Farkas and Britten.

The work by Bartók which serves as an overture has symbolic value in the life of the chamber orchestra, as it was Frigyes Sándor who premièred it in Hungary in 1939. One of the most important composers of the generation after Bartók, Ferenc Farkas, wrote two works for cello and orchestra – both of which will be performed this evening for the first time on a concert stage in this country.
