The programme for this concert consists of pieces from two maestros from Russian music history.

Concerto Budapest

Conductor: Pedro Amaral

The focus of the concert is Focus itself, that is, the Hungarian premiere of Péter Eötvös’s concerto for Saxophone, which he completed in 2021. The title refers to film-making: the “sound camera” changes focus between the soloist in close-ups and the orchestra in the background like the camera does in films.
