Play Time! - Modern Art Orchestra plays the music of MAO’s comosers
The Modern Art Orchestra brings outstanding Hungarian contemporary composers to the Opus Jazz Club in the 2022/23 season! In its six-part concert series MAO works together with musicians who experiment with orchestral sound, and search for unique, out-of-the box tunes.
This time the members of MAO’s composing workshop will introduce themselves with their own compositions. The concert’s repertoire features a representative selection of the pieces of Kristóf Bacsó, János Ávéd, Kornél Fekete-Kovács, Gábor Cseke, Attila Korb and Gábor Subicz.
MAO’s atmosphere is a musical nest, a workshop for the artists of the most innovative band of Hungary where the creative musical minds constantly inspire eachother. The 19-member ensemble gathers the most relevant performers, in many cases band leaders and composers of the Hungarian jazz and contemporary music scene. The mentioned six members write for MAO on a regular basis. The repertoire of the Orchestra is mostly written by them and are dedicated especially for the band.
The artistic director, Kornél Fekete-Kovács and the musicians of MAO turn to music with a perspective passing the boundaries of genres. Creative sound and free expression of musical thoughts stand in the focus of their instrumental mastery and their own compositions. The expression “contemporary” does not always sound inviting for the audience, but MAO’s concerts bring today’s instrumental music and composers closer to the listeners and offer an unforgettable sound experience.
