„My own idea, however—of which I have been fully conscious since I found myself as a composer—is the brotherhood of peoples, brotherhood in spite of all wars and conflicts. I try—to the best of my ability— to serve this idea in my music; therefore I don’t reject any influence, be it Slovakian, Rumanian, Arabic or from any other source. The source must only be clean, fresh and healthy!”

Bartók to Octavian Beu, January 10, 1931, in Béla Bartók Letters, ed. János Demény (Budapest, 1971)

After a gap year, Arcus Temporum Festival is organized again in the framework of Saint Martin’s year between the 26^th -28^th of August in the Arrchabbey. Its motto is same as the motto of the memorial year: “We are in community”.

András Keller attempts to bring new compositions closer to audiences using different means. The new series of Concerto Budapest, Premiere, was established for this end and launches in the Liszt Academy this season. At these events, following a symphonic orchestra concert and starting at 10 pm, music-loving audiences can enjoy the premiere of a single work. After each Premiere concert, which is conducted in an atmosphere more relaxed than that traditional experienced at classical music concerts, the audience can get closer to the work and its creator in the framework of an open conversation accompanied by a glass of wine. We look forward to welcoming you!
