The Let the Country Sing initiative grew out of a unified chorus project started by Budapest high school students in 1986. From there, it developed into a national event. Year after year, more than 400 chorus singers assemble from every corner of the country and even from beyond its borders to perform, after several months of preparation and an intensive chorus weekend, some of the most significant works in the musical literature under the baton of Gábor Hollerung. The concert endows both the pa...rticipants and the audience with a lasting musical experience. In connection with other events marking the half century that has passed since the death of Zoltán Kodály, the evening will feature the composer's Te Deum of Buda Castle, followed by Rossini's Petite messe solennelle, a truly monumental creative work original written to be accompanied by piano and harmonium, but which at this concert will be performed together with a full orchestra, something practically unknown to the Hungarian audience. The composer himself prepared the orchestral transcription to protect his work from any future interference by unknown hands.
Presented by: Dohnányi Orchestra Budafok
