BRAHMS - DRAMAS - Dénes Várjon, Gábor Takács-Nagy and the MAV Symphony Orchestra E/6

The musicians of our orchestra prepare their favorite pieces for the interactive program recommended for 0-3 year-old children. Edit Székely, the mastermind behind the series, is a flute-player and music teacher, who will make the event even more exciting with children’s songs and plays.

Our orchestra's permanent guest conductor, Péter Csaba will take the audience on a journey into the music of German Romanticism. Max Bruch (1838-1920) followed in Mendelssohn's footsteps as a composer and later became an admirer and friend of Brahms. His most frequently performed work is Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, which was premiered by Joseph Joachim. Austrian organist and composer Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) was a deeply religious man and an ardent follower of Wagner's music. His last symphonies belong to final stage of Romanticism, both in terms of the size of the orchestra and the length of the pieces. He described Symphony No. 4, composed in 1874, as 'Romantic'; in fact, it is a depiction of nature, from idyllic landscape to terrifying storm. Another special feature of the concert is that the violin soloist, Anna Csaba, is the daughter of the conductor, who studied at the Conservatory of Music de Genève and later Cologne University of Music and Dance.
