Danubia Orchestra Óbuda A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Known to millions in Hungary as a regular member of the panel on TV talent show Ki mit tud?, Emil Petrovics – erstwhile legendary teacher at the Liszt Academy – was perhaps the most active composer of his time, with a whole raft of film music and operas, ballets and oratorios, cantatas and, of course, orchestral and chamber works to his name. This significant memorial concert featuring Domonkos Héja and his ensemble, the Danubia Orchestra Óbuda (now in their 30th year), reveals the astounding diversity of Petrovics’s oeuvre and his consistently listener-friendly, inclusive nature. During the evening we will hear two emblematic Petrovics compositions from two important eras in his career: Symphony No. 1 (1964) and his Piano Concerto written at the end of the millennium, in 1999.
