DEAR VIEWERS, We believe that there are no limits to the Müpa Budapest experience. We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for our fantastic audience to still be able to encounter the world’s most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening – this time in their own homes. It is precisely for this reason that we have decided to unlock our media library for everyone over the weeks to come and – each night at the familiar times: 7 pm, 7.30 pm or 8 pm, depending on genre – open Müpa Budapest’s virtual concert hall by providing access to many live concerts (although without an audience) or an unforgettable performance from past years, which we’ll transmit on our website, and our YouTube channel. We trust that, in this way, we will be able to make the evenings you are spending at home more pleasant and full of magical and uplifting moments. Take good care, and let’s continue to stick together!

DISCOVERIES
SZEGED SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet – overture-fantasy • Shostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, Op. 107 • Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 Featuring: Domonkos Hartmann – cello • Aleksandr Kliuchko – piano Conductor: Sándor Gyüdi The treasury of Russian music can never be exhausted. This three masterpieces featured at this concert are an encounter between three of that country’s biggest musical sources of pride: one overture, one cello concerto and a piano concerto. The two soloists are true discoveries: both the 21-year-old Hungarian cellist and the 20-year-old Russian pianist embody new hopes for the futures of their instruments. And of course, as in many other concerts in the Discoveries series, this occasion offers the opportunity to marvel at the outstanding work and preparation of a Hungarian orchestra from outside of Budapest. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.
