Holle anyó

János Arany’s epic poem is an enduring classic of Hungarian literature, with turns of phrases that are still parts of common parlance, and a hero who has been revived in opera, animated film, physical theatre production and monodrama.

Dés. For decades a byword for excellence on the Hungarian music scene. A considerable number of musicals, film scores, major hits and jazz albums is attached to his name. His best-known songs include Nagy utazás, Vigyázz rám, Olyan szépek voltunk, Legyen úgy and Mi vagyunk a grund. In addition to these popular songs, performed with invited guest artists and an excellent band, we will also hear new compositions. An evening on which music becomes at once a celebration, a reunion and an unforgettable experience.

Veronica Swift returns to Müpa Budapest for the second time, promising to revive several noble traditions at the concert to open this year’s JazzTime programme.
