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!

OUR GUEST IS KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI • 3.1 Penderecki: Symphony No. 7 – Siedem bram Jerozolimy (Seven Gates of Jerusalem) Featuring: Iwona Hossa, Ewa Vesin – soprano • Agnieszka Rehlis – mezzo-soprano Adam Zdunikowski – tenor • Piotr Nowacki – bass • Sławomir Holland – prose Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Hungarian Radio Choir (choirmaster: Zoltán Pad), Hungarian National Choir (choirmaster: Csaba Somos) Conductor: Krzysztof Penderecki This choral symphony, which Penderecki composed to commemorate the third millennium of Jerusalem, had its premiere in Israel in 1997. The libretto, which comprises extracts from psalms and the Books of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel and Jeremiah, inspired the composer to a monumental work, which employs three choruses, a narrator and solo singers, and which is often compared to Mahler’s Symphony No. 8. This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 12 October 2016. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.

SOPHIE BROWN & THE BLAHALOUISIANA MOON BAND The members of Blahalouisiana were dreaming big with a special concert to bring their second album, which was released in the autumn of 2017, to their audience. On this occasion, singer Barbara Schoblocher’s instantly recognisable voice and the unique Blahalouisiana sound were complemented by classical instruments and a Hammond organ, as scored by composer Ádám Balázs. It is the atmosphere of the ‘70s that the band was conjuring up on the Müpa Budapest stage: All at once, you can travel in time, land on the Moon and take a pleasure flight on the wings of music. This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 16 January 2018. The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.
