The first program of this year's Bach Bridges Festival is dedicated to one of the greatest living Hungarian composer, György Kurtág. It reflects his love of chamber music and his close relationship with composers in the past, such as Bartók and Schumann. The young emerging world-renowned Hungarian cellist Ildikó Szabó will introduce solopieces which will soon be published on her latest CD. There is also a Hungarian debut of one of the best Dutch pianists from her generation, Yang Yang Cai.
The third Bach Bridges Festival at the Budapest Music Center is once again a collaboration between musicians of the Budapest Festival Orchestra and their colleagues of the Royal Concertgebouworkest from Amsterdam with the artistic direction of Michael Gieler and Péter Szabó. Their programs in this edition are dedicated to two of the greatest composers of all times, Bach and Beethoven. We are delighted to introduce a number of very promising young artists in our festival.
We will keep the tradition of starting each concert with the psalms of Csaba Szabó.
After their concerts at the BMC most musicians will continue to make music together at the International Bach Festival of Gran Canaria.
The Bach Bridges Festival is a joint project between the Music Stages Foundation from the Netherlands, the Csaba Szabó International Society from Hungary and the Budapest Music Center.
