"I am a master craftsman. Whenever I am writing music, I always smell sawdust by the piano." This is how György Orbán, the composer of the 2023/24 season, expressed his artistic credo in an interview. For him, creating music is primarily about work and service, just as it was for composers before 1800. This is also where his aesthetic ideal leads him: music should be intelligible, moving and beautiful in the traditional sense of the word. However, this is not the only sense in which Orbán is a master, for he is also a schoolmaster, a fact highlighted in this concert in which works by three of his former students, now themselves seasoned composers, are juxtaposed with their mentor's music.
The concert will be preceded from 6.30 pm by an introductory presentation in Hungarian entitled Prologue, by musicologist Gergely Fazekas, where concert ticket holders will be invited to get to know the performing musicians and the works to be performed more closely.
