HELLO, DOLLY!

It has been a long time since we thought of Cécile McLorin Salvant as merely the promising winner of the 2010 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Her expressive voice capable of conveying profound emotions and refined sentiments, her virtuoso improvisation, and her brave, experimental combinations of styles have now come to represent a point of reference to a new generation.

Mozart was insatiably in love with life. He embraced everything considered “sinful”: wine, cards, billiards. And his passion extended to musical ornaments: flowery acciaccaturas, trills, cadences others dared not risk, and chromatic runs. But there can be no doubt the main objects of his desire were women. He dedicated several of his masterpieces to one or other of his lovers, who were thus immortalised by these concert and opera arias.

Először koncertezik Magyarországon az elmúlt húsz év egyik legsikeresebb brit énekesnője, Corinne Bailey Rae, aki már 2006-os debütáló albumával és annak világslágereivel (Like A Star, Put Your Records On) milliós eladásokat produkáló nemzetközi sztár lett.
