Music and Literature A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Amongst schoolchildren there are those destined for maths, there are those good at Hungarian, there are born geographers and historians. Of course, the various subcultures are not totally isolated from one another, and the pathway is especially free between them if we are talking about music. The fact is that music has a linkage to everything: is reveals as much about maths as it does about literature, geography or sport. The youth series of the Liszt Academy, that is, the four concerts in the Chamber Hall arranged in the framework of the Liszt Kidz Academy, venture into the latter four subjects, and in the final programme in the series the question revolves around the ties between music and literature. What happens to a poem if it is set to music? Does a good song need a good poem, or does a good melody ruin a good verse? Is it possible to think of music in a literary way? This concert for 10-15-year-old students seeks answers to these and similar questions with the help of songs and piano works from the 19th century, the age of poets of music. The two performers, Renáta Darázs and Péter Kiss, are close chamber partners and intellectual musicians.
