“These are sounds coming from the depths, although we have become accustomed to the fact that Dongó never reveals his treasures with a superficial expression. He descends on a rope like a fairy tale hero into the deep recesses of Music, always surprising us with some unusual, beautiful acoustic formation. And, of course, he polishes them to brilliance with incredible tenacity, skill and imagination. In this exhibition of sounds, he once again presents us with little gems, with the help of his excellent musical partners, the Corpus Trombone Quartet. This is neither folk music nor classical music. These are masterly articulated vocal messages from the realms of faith, virtue, suffering, childlike serenity and ballads.” (Ferenc Kiss – sound architect)
Hungarian folk music on brass instruments. It was in 2017 that the Corpus Trombone Quartet and Balázs Szokolay Dongó met for the first time. The first experimental works of the unique formation were already written that year, and now their second album is being released. The works of Balázs Szokolay Dongó – together with folk song arrangements by Bartók and Kodály – form the basis for their music-making.
The programme is free of charge.
