FEATURING

MIKAMO Central European Chamber Orchestra
Artistic director, conductor:
Ajtony Csaba

In the 150 years from Franz to Alexander Schubert, our concept of song has changed dramatically; Franz Schubert wrote songs for singers, while Alexader Schubert composed works using artificial intelligence. The MIKAMO Central European Chamber Orchestra, established in Vienna, considers every concert to be a Gesamtkunstwerk and – while collaborating with living composers – promotes 20th-century Central European musical heritage and the part of the historical repertoire that shapes the music of the present. In this program, the ensemble explores the ever-changing relationship between instruments and song through the lens of Enescu’s exotic last work and three exciting new works of our time. Márton Illés’s work has been recognized in the form of several international prizes and commissions, and his compositions are performed worldwide. In 2021, Mirela Ivičević’s compositions will be featured for the second time at the Donaueschingen Festival, a sure sign she is becoming a ‘rockstar’ of contemporary music. Her works often use theatrical elements and texts that promote social engagement. The programme also features a new piece by Virág Anna Virág, which won a prize in the chamber music category of Müpa Budapest’s composition competition.

The concert is a co-production of the Transparent Sound Festival and the Sonus Foundation, with support from the National Cooperation Fund.

Presented by: Müpa Budapest
