Márta Ábrahám & Ábrahám Consort Presented by Liszt Academy

This recital of Márta Ábrahám and Ábrahám Consort lets us be ear-witnesses to a meeting of Baroque music and new music. The history of music has already offered countless examples of how an earlier master, genre, composer’s idea can inspire a freshly made composition. These connections are then presented to audiences sometimes more openly, and sometimes more coyly. The authors of works performed at this concert profoundly believe that the constant reflection on the past and our predecessors is a natural state of being of music, just as each note becomes really interesting and gains significance only after the note before it, just as every composition is related to an earlier one, and one before that. The concert opens with the string orchestral work Szőke Nyitra – Fekete Vág written in the late period of Sándor Balassa, who died recently, and then a new composition apiece by József Sári, Gergely Vajda and Ákos Zarándy, Zoltán Németh naturally all as world premieres.
