The World of Bartók

Between 1906-1918 Bartók collected almost 3500 slovakian folk songs, which appear as an inspiration, moreover as source of his compositions. In 1917 he added piano accompaniment to four of these small folk genre pictures (life scenes). That is how the "Four Slovak Folk Songs" was born. The other piece of Bartók is “Five Choral Works for Equal voices with chamber orchestra accompaniment”. The choral works for equal voices are Bartók's vocal microworld's typical compositions. The series of 27 pieces was originally composed for a capella equal voices, and later, in 1937 five of them were completed with chamber orchestra accompaniment, thereby the songs’ message became even more expressive.

Piano: András Körtesi

Orchestra: Instrumentalists of the Pannon Philharmonic Orhestra

The World of Mokranjac

Rukoveti (Garlands or Song wreaths) are Mokranjac’s original music form, constructed of various folk tunes and skillfully combined into one composition. There are Garlands from Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Dalmatia, and also one Garland of Hungarian folk songs. The atelier will include the most beautiful and well-known parts of these choral works, as well as an example of Mokranjac’s sacred music, which is also based on traditional church chant.

"Witness the snapshots of Bartók's soul. Be part of a musical journey and experience the musical moments of Bartók. A pianist and a chamber orchestra will be your mates during the journey."
