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!

CONCERTO BUDAPEST Schubert: Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major, D. 485 • Schubert: - Lieder: Im Abendrot (arrangement by Reger), Die Forelle (arrangement by Britten), Nacht und Träume (arrangement by Reger) • Mahler: Symphony No. 4 in G major Featuring: Juliane Banse – soprano • Conductor: Christoph Poppen Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 is a candid acknowledgement of the process of entering adulthood. It condenses youthful emotions into melodies and is far removed from the composer’s later transcendent and elevated tone. The emphasis in the three lieder that follow this is on Schubert’s personal journey and romantic emotional world. In the spirit of brightness found in the works in major keys by the “peaceful Romantics”, the evening closes with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. This work is noted primarily for its gentle tone and the soprano solo of the fourth movement – the latter presenting a child’s characteristically naive vision of heaven. This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 9 March 2016. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

DÁVID HODEK & FRIENDS Paul Cornish – piano • Joshua Crumbly – double bass • Dávid Hodek – drums Having grown up as part of a Hungarian family in a small village close to Komarno, Slovakia, the jazz drummer Dávid Hodek conquered the world by the time he was 20. He started playing the drums as a pre-schooler in 2008 and founded his first band aged 11, with which he became a popular guest at jazz clubs and festivals in Hungary, Slovakia and later Western Europe. He performed his first independent concert at Müpa Budapest in 2012. In recent times, he has also achieved considerable success in the United States and for this concert he was bringing with him two musicians from across the water to Budapest. In addition to jazz, the multicultural trio draws heavily on funk, hip-hop and pop motifs. This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 3 February 2017. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

GERGELY MADARAS AND THE SAVARIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Mozart: Piano Concerto in C major, K. 503 • Ibert: Flute Concerto • Dvořák: Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88 Featuring: Alexandra Balog - piano • Noémi Győri – flute Conductor: Gergely Madaras This concert represents an opportunity to discover two young soloists, a pianist and a flautist, and also offers a unique chance to see the Savaria Symphony Orchestra, a Hungarian symphonic ensemble from outside Budapest. The flute concerto that appears on the programme is also a rare treat. Conductor Gergely Madaras (1984) has purposely been left off the list of discoveries as he needs no introduction. From 2013 until 2019, he was musical director of the Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne in France, and also served as principle conductor of the Savaria Symphony Orchestra from 2014 until 2020. In February 2018, he was appointed musical director of Belgium’s largest symphony orchestra, the Liège Royal Philharmonic. This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 30 September 2018. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.
