Snétberger Quartet feat. Markus Stockhausen A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Last December the audience of the Liszt Academy were dazzled by a stunning solo recital by Ferenc Snétberger, then a recent Kossuth Prize laureate, while this year he is on the Grand Hall stage with his quartet comprising truly gifted musicians. Árpád Oláh Tzumo, former holder of the Berklee Scholarship, one-time student of the Thelonious Monk Institute, needs little introduction to Hungarian audiences, similarly to József Barcza Horváth, former bass player with the Festival Orchestra and Claudio Abbado-lead Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, as well as winner of numerous Jazz competitions. Toni Snétberger is the son of the leader of the quartet. He is known in Germany not only as a jazz drummer but actor, too. Their guest, Markus Stockhausen (son of composer Karlheinz Stockhausen), is an old friend and music partner of Ferenc Snétberger, who had the following to say about him: “Markus brings out of me that which I never play otherwise. This direct type of communication is something quite extraordinary.”
