International Choir Competition Budapest: Budapest Spring Festival

О событии

The 2013 Budapest International Choir Competition will get underway with an impressive start. Conducted by Gábor Hollerung, the Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok will join forces with some fine Hungarian choirs – the Budapest Academic Choir Society, the Budapest Youth Choir, and the Cantemus Choir Nyíregyháza – to perform a grand oratorio each by György Orbán and Levente Gyöngyösi.

Orbán’s “psalm oratorio” is one of the most wonderful compositions of recent decades, while Gyöngyösi undertook a feat few would dare when he took Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 as the model for the structure of his own composition.

Conductor: Gábor Hollerung
Featuring: Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok, Cantemus Choir Nyíregyháza (choirmaster: Dénes Szabó)
