Boban Marković, who has long been in the habit of giving his first Hungarian concert of the year at Müpa Budapest, has achieved everything that one can achieve with a band in this corner of the world: a multitude of awards, several hundred thousand records sold, hundreds of concerts played at clubs and festivals, with many thousands of fans there to welcome them wherever they play in Europe. On the occasion of their major New Year's concert in Budapest, we can promise nothing less than a carefre...e and unfettered "concert of joy”, in which musical traditions from the Balkans and elsewhere in Europe swirl together in the playing of Boban and his band. Hungary remains the ensemble's favourite country: this is where Boban has given the finest concerts of his life, where he has played the most frequently, and also where his appearances create the greatest "buzz”. Considered Serbia's greatest trumpeter for some two decades, Boban has also been named the best in the world by music magazine Songlines, making him Hungary's number one trumpeter, too, by extension.
Join us for this celebration of joyful music with a concert by what might be Europe's most popular brass band: the Boban Marković Orkestar. Everyone's new year should start joyfully.
