Organ Duel — Sietze de Vries and Dirk Elsemann: Palace of Arts in Budapest

About the Event

Two organists take the stage of the Béla Bartók National Hall in the tradition of noble rivalry between artists. Which will win your acclaim?

Müpa Budapest offers audiences a more modern, more playful and friendlier version of the duel through its enormously popular Organ Duel series.
On this occasion, Dutch musician Sietze de Vries (1973) will take the stage with the German Dirk Elsemann (1977) to match their skills in a great variety of trials. Both are masters of their chosen instrument and – a particularly important element of the organ duels – outstandingly skilled at improvisation. Improvisations take shape before the audiences commemorating and evoking the spirit of the great composers.
