THE DAY OF LISTENING | ONE-DAY-LONG MUSIC FESTIVAL OF CONCERTO BUDAPEST
5 November 2023 12:00 pm
Budapest Music Center
1093 Budapest, Mátyás utca 8.
On the Day of Listening this year we remember the late violist of the Keller Quartet, Zoltán Gál.
A festival atmosphere, unusual encounters and cathartic musical experiences await everyone on the Day of Listening at the Budapest Music Center. András Keller said about the festival earlier: "Listening can mean understanding, silence, contemplation, wonder, discovery. As for the programme, he considered it important to "have a kaleidoscopic view of contemporary music, with the great composers of the past as a benchmark and companion".
Peter Eötvös, Concerto Budapest's first guest conductor, said of the musical delights of the programme, "At the Day of Listening, genre restrictions are finally broken down, we fly freely through different centuries, styles, small ensembles, large ensembles, soloists... it's like a culinary treat from a Michelin-starred menu."
The complete live video-broadcast is available for re-watch at theviolinchannel.com until the end of November 2023.
