Introduction

GOURMET CHAMBER MUSIC TASTING

A truly special experience for those who visit the Prayer Hall of the Sárospatak Reformed Theological Academy this evening: The resident orchestra of the Zemplén Festival, Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra, will perform the debut concert of the BDO Chamber Music Workshop, for the first time in Hungary. The artistic director and principal arranger of the ensemble is Apor Szüts, who has been a permanent member of Budafok Dohnányi Orchestra since September 2022. His name may ring a bell from the Virtuosos classical music talent show, for which he was the musical director for many years.

In this concert, the ensemble will offer an insight into the chamber orchestral perspective of the standing stars of music history. The BDO Chamber Music Workshop’s unique instrumentation and orchestrations create both the intimate atmosphere of chamber music and the colour and grandiosity of a full-scale orchestra sound. The BDO Chamber Music Workshop’s programme therefore includes a wide variety of music, from chamber works for solo instrument or small ensembles to large orchestral pieces and concertos, all of which are performed in a highly sophisticated and unique instrumental setting, whether the performed piece is part of baroque, romantic, 20th century or contemporary music.

Enjoy this tasting of gourmet chamber music and join us for this special evening!
