Borbála Dobozy & Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra Presented by Liszt Academy

Borbála Dobozy, Liszt Prize winning professor of the Liszt Academy and member of the Hungarian Academy of Arts, takes to the stage of the Grand Hall along with Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra, holder of the National Youth Orchestra 2018-2020 title. Dobozy is a founding member of the Hungarian Bach Society and chair of the board. Thus it comes as no surprise that her concert sets off with the harpsichord concerto in A major by the German composer. For the remainder of the concert, Dobozy and the ‘soul of music’ refute the popular assumption that the harpsichord is only an instrument of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The recital features two classics: Haydn’s early G major keyboard concerto and the A major work composed by Mozart during his years spent in Vienna. The programme also has room for a work by a 20th century French artist, Jean Francaix, thereby showing that the revival of the harpsichord has been going on for nearly a century.
