New Liszt Ferenc Chamber Choir
Conductor: Jean-Sébastien Vallée

The New Liszt Ferenc Chamber Choir, which at the time of the concert will be thirteen years old, is welcoming yet again an internationally renowned conductor to offer a taste of the classics and novelties of choral literature. Canadian–American Jean-Sébastien Vallée is a distinguished professor at McGill University in Montreal and the artistic director of the Mendelssohn Choir in Toronto. His guest performance is a guarantee of refreshing diversity in several respects. On the one hand, his presence will lend new colorful aspects to the performance of the choir led by László Norbert Nemes and a different perspective during behind-the-scenes work; on the other hand, the repertoire of which he is an ambassador will surely have a refreshing effect on the audience, as well.
