Béla Szakcsi Lakatos and Guests A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Love frequently bursts into a person’s life unexpectedly and with elemental force. Francesco di Bernardone, son of a prosperous silk merchant in Florence, lived a high-spirited life and enjoyed earthly possessions. However, on seeing the results of war he was transformed. From that moment on he devoted himself to the service of the poor and forgotten. He became known to later generations as St Francis of Assisi. To this day charitable activities play a key part in the everyday life of the Franciscan Order, and now this activity is manifest in the form of a concert at the Liszt Academy. Kossuth Prize laureate Béla Szakcsi Lakatos and his fellow musicians have selected from the works of two composers who lived on the fringes of jazz and classical music. Several fine singers join the musicians to bring the art of George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein alive: jazz singer Nikoletta Szőke, the star Zséda from the pop scene, plus Szilvia Vörös and Ádám Horváth who arrive from the classical world.
