“The sky does not begin with the stars, but at the tips of blades of grass.” On this special evening dedicated to his own compositions, Károly Binder revisits the most important stations of his creative career together with outstanding musicians with whom – as the quote from Mór Jókai suggests – he started out from the tips of blades of grass.

The highly prolific and versatile Greek singer, Savina Yannatou has been considered among her country’s most significant performers since the early 1980s. She began her career performing progressive electronic music (releasing several albums with Lena Platonos), and has since explored a vast range of musical worlds, from medieval songs to improvisatory genres. The internationally acclaimed artist is already familiar to the Müpa Budapest audience, having performed previously on the Festival Theatre stage back in 2006.
