This night promises to be truly sensational: the piece by Judit Varga - the composer of the season - will receive its first airing in Hungary, and Fazıl Say's two-trumpet concerto will be performed for the first time anywhere in the world tonight. The Prague Symphony Orchestra has played under such chief conductors as Jiři Bělohlávek and Serge Baudo. Gábor Boldoczki - the artist of the season - and Sergei Nakariakov are two Paganinis of the trumpet, a pair of international stars with dazzling technique: for them, no obstacle is insurmountable when it comes to playing their instrument. Their collaboration promises to be an unforgettable experience. After starting her studies in Budapest, Judit Varga graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, where she teaches today after having lived in the Austrian capital for more than 20 years. Her works are played at international festivals. Fazıl Say's path as a pianist led him from his homeland of Turkey to the great concert halls of the West, and as a composer he has fulfilled commissions from some of the best-known artists in the world. Born in Saint Petersburg, Andrey Boreyko has conducted many major symphonic ensembles around the globe, ranging from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra to the New York Philharmonic.
