The piano art of Zoltán Fejérvári promises a perfect Chopin interpretation, while the string quartet of Puccini performed by the chamber orchestra will sound like a complete opera played on strings. In the second half of the concert, one of the world’s most well-known transcripts will be performed: Carmen as reimagined on strings and percussions.
The concert is the culmination of a new collaboration between the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra and the Academy of Music during the present season. Led by István Várdai, within the framework of professional courses, the Orchestra gave lectures regarding the knowledge necessary for the perfect orchestral performance. The most talented students were invited to perform with the world-famous chamber Orchestra this evening.
