Várdai – non SOLO CELLO - Portrait Documentary Film

– this programme promises a complex experience that, after the screening of the portrait documentary about the great cellist, will bring him to the stage to converse with music historian Gergely Fazekas and the director of the film, Eszter Száraz, who followed Várdai with her camera for four years.
