The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin and the Amadinda Percussion Group
20 October 2019, 7:30 pm — 10 pm
Béla Bartók National Concert Hall

The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin is one of the world's best choirs, whether the programme includes early music or some contemporary composition. They have worked on the Baroque repertoire with some of the greatest conductors, like Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Frans Brüggen, John Eliot Gardiner, René Jacobs, and Philippe Herreweghe. Such composers have written works for the The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin as Paul Hindemith, Hans Werner Henze, Pierre Boulez, Mauricio Kagel, Aribert Reimann - and the list could go on and on. With the help of Amadinda Percussion Group and outstanding soloists, they will perform a cultic work of American avant-garde music, Rothko Chapel (1971), which transforms silence into notes, as well as two compositions that are quite new. The conductor is James Wood, who is one of the most important British musicians of the past few decades, both as a composer and as a percussionist. The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin is an ensemble of Rundfunk Orchester und Chöre GmbH Berlin. Shareholders: Deutschlandradio, the Federal Republic of Germany, the State of Berlin and Radio Berlin-Brandenburg The concert will be preceded from 6.30 pm by a conversation entitled Prelude, where ticket holders will be invited to get to know the performing musician and the works to be performed more closely.

Recirquel Company Budapest: My Land

28 October 2019

The production My Land from the internationally renowned contemporary circus company Recirquel premièred in August 2018 at one of the world's most prestigious arts festivals, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where critics rated it the best of several thousand productions. This show directed by Bence Vági focuses on the roots of humanity and the eternal connection between a person and their homeland, depicting it in a space filled with illusions. While the production is the consummation of cirque danse, a new form of performance art, it is not only in terms of genre that it can be considered unique: this is Recirquel's first piece to feature only guest artists from outside Hungary. Vági invited seven Ukrainian acrobats, each of them outstanding practitioners of their particular circus skills even by international standards, and explored their personal life stories - of tradition, freedom and love - to create the production. The première was an event of the CAFe Budapest Contemporary Arts Festival.

Hiromi

29 October 2019

It is three years almost to the day since she wowed the Müpa Budapest audience as part of a trio alongside Jimmy Johnson on bass guitar and Simon Phillips on drums. Now, Hiromi, the most celebrated Japanese musician of our times, will be sure to once again enjoy the acclaim of the public as she makes her return, though this time she will be accompanied only by her piano. On her 2010 solo album Place To Be, Hiromi showed us how she was capable of journeying with irrepressible freedom amid classical music, jazz, rock and other related styles while demonstrating her creativity, virtuosity and enthusiasm for music. She is also capable of utilising her bewitching technical ability to lift the mood of herself and her listener. A series of albums made as part of a trio began in 2003 led to four further records: the 2011 Voice, Move in 2012, Alive in 2014 and the 2016 Spark. Each album featured Anthony Jackson on the bass guitar and Simon Phillips. These were followed by 2017's Live in Montreal, a special dual performance with the Colombian harpist Edmar Castaneda. Hiromi will release a new solo album in 2019. As she enters her forties, the artist will create a blend from all the musical influences that have left their mark on her own image. Hiromi will appear at Müpa Budapest as part of her tour to promote the album. There are few artists in today's jazz scene capable of filling a concert hall on their own purely on the basis of their extraordinary talent, inimitable playing style and captivating personality. There can be no doubt that Hiromi is one of them.
