Rising star from the East joins Iván Fischer

Iván Fischer and his Budapest Festival Orchestra invite us to dance, taking us back to the roaring twenties, when American jazz was giving classical music a facelift. From march to tango, from gymnopédie to waltz: this is music full of double meanings, seductive but deceptive. Under the dancing fingers of Seong-Jin Cho – winner of the International Chopin Piano Competition 2015 – Ravel's Piano Concerto will be an unforgettable experience!

Review

The Times

"Sinuously pungent strings, rustic woodwinds, rhythms with a kick and a lilt; (...) even a Martian visitor would probably realise that they were listening to the Budapest Festival Orchestra."
