MÁV Symphony Orchestra A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

MÁV Symphony Orchestra and István Dénes have put together a kaleidoscopic programme for the carnival season. Dvořák’s dizzyingly rapid Carnival Overture is followed by a confetti shower of numbers: dances of various folk cultures from the workshops of Armenian Khachaturian, Hungarian Ferenc Farkas and Englishman Britten Benjamin, after which the audience hears a few extracts of Pongrác Kacsóh’s János vitéz in an arrangement by István Dénes, rounded off by works by American composers from the boundary between classical and pop music. Conductor István Dénes graduated from the Liszt Academy in 1977; he is the conductor of the Hungarian State Opera and regularly conducts ensembles in Germany. He is also active as a composer, as shall be evidenced from his extremely witty pieces, the Nokia Waltz and an arrangement of the Radetzky March.
