Stories for Baroque Music A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

It is often said that music is like a language: a language in which the instruments speak. But what does music say, and how is it capable of relating a story if it is not supported by text? The autumn concerts of the Liszt Academy’s youth series, Liszt Kidz Academy, which is targeted at 10-15-year-olds (as well as their parents and grandparents), seek answers to this question. The first concert in the new season takes the audience into the world of Baroque music thanks to Balázs Máté (who speaks the music of the period with great fluency) and his ensemble Aura Musicale. To a time when in music everything was about expression, and instrumental music was considered the daughter of vocal music, saying that like a child imitates its mother, so instruments must imitate singers. It transpires at the concert how it was possible for Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the highly talented son of J.S. Bach, and Antonio Vivaldi to relate stories purely through notes; furthermore, we can also learn from Balázs Máté how these messages hidden in the works can be decoded.
